You are absolutely correct about the people who are not native English speakers and the people that are bad test takers, but I don't think the people that are complaining about exam formats fall into that category. I am been nailed with more email about Cisco and the new exam format than I care to hear about. As far as tricky wording and poor questions, hey that happens and even the best test takers get nailed with those. It is an associate level exam; the simulations cannot be that difficult. What is the worst that Cisco is going to have you do? Cisco could do like Extreme networks and make you take a hands-on lab for the basic certification.

If > simulations and a new format are scaring you that bad you > shouldn't even be taking the exams I understand what you are saying, but your comments are simplistic. There are a lot of people out there with considerable experience and skill that are not good test takers (a good friend of mine is one of them). People that are not native English speakers can also have problems with these exams. Many of the certification exams test your ability to memorize command syntax (that in real life you'd use the "?" for), have trick questions, or flat out have poor wording. To think that these exams are an accurate reflection of ability is tough to believe.
