Interesting, because my test allowed me to go back to previous questions. Who knows what the hell Cisco is doing? Do they know what they're doing? :-) I think they enjoy driving us nuts. :-)

This test was far and away the most difficult Cisco exam I have ever seen and probably the toughest cert exam period. Out of 150 questions I would say that there were thirty that I just guessed at, very heavy on multicasting and MPLS, two things in which I have no realworld exposure. Some BGP scenarios that were beyond my imagination and certainly farfetched even in a large ISP. Bottom line is they have taken some of us at our word that the original written exam was too easy. I have yet to take the 350-001 but I have been studying towards it for the last four months with practice exams and have the CCDP, this new test is not for rookies. The worst part of this is that after probably failing my first Cisco exam I came away knowing that I am a long way from being ready for the lab. I am not going to give up by a long shot but I have to re-think my strategy, I need more training. Between my home lab and work I have probably touched about fifty percent of what is covered. Back to the drawing board for me. BTW. This test did allow you to go backwards. I did not have a single type in the command question and only one decipher the RIF question. Lots of scenarios and network illustrations.
