I can't agree with you more about the questions being worded badly. I also just finished the CIT exam for my CCNP. Every CCNP test I went into I felt very confident and found myself during the test wondering where the hell did they come up with some of these questions. You have to be a laywer to interpret some of them. Although I did well on all of the tests an am glad that I got the CCNP cert, I really don't feel like my knowledge of networking was put to the test. I hope the CCIE is more realistic. Anyway, congrats and good luck!
