I am in no way picking on you in particular in this email, but this brings up a point that has been discussed previously at Groupstudy. A big problem with all this certification insanity and brainwashing is that people can keep taking and re-taking the exams until they pass. So, people end up not really knowing the technologies, just how to memorize numerous questions or topics that may be covered on the exams. It's to the point where I don't even put CCNP, CCDP, etc. after my name anymore because it really doesn't prove anything. For all anyone knows, I may have never touched a router or designed a network in my life. I may have just taken the exams 10 times each until I passed.
You're best off taking the time to really learn the materials so that when you take the exam, you're not doing it on a wing and a prayer. You'll not only save yourself some money, but you can feel that you really deserve to pass and be able to apply this knowledge to actual situations. Just my opinion, Shawn K. -----Original Message----- From: Skarphedinsson Arni V.
