The real issue isnt that hands on testing is good/bad (I think its great if you want to test me, give me a router with a problem and see if I can fix it.). The real issue is two fold: First, the testing engine doesnt use real IOS, its a simulator, meaning that some commands have to be typed out completely and some commands can be truncated but only in certain ways (i.e. config t might work, but conf t might not or int s 0 might work but interface s0 doesnt, etc.) meaning, you must know what the simulator will accept for a correct answer, not necessarily what would work in the real world. Second, Ive heard that the testing simulator is the one used in the official Cisco course translation, anyone with the $s to go to the class has a leg up on someone that only works on real gear sounds slightly fishy to me.
