RE: CID help/Sybex Book Review
I echo John's comments. While I didn't have the ciscopress book, I did have the official course materials from the CID class I took in 98. However, I took the exam in September 00 so I bought the Sybex book for review. While it did discuss X.25, SNA, & the StrataCom Line, the exam asked questions that were simply not in the text. Boson was a little more in depth and the course material provided a little more information for me. But again, there were a few questions that were simply not covered in the three items I used to prepare myself for the exam. Still passed with a slightly lower score than I was achieving on the other Cisco exams. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > John Huston > Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2000 11:48 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: CID help/Sybex Book Review > > > Caveat Emptor.

RE: Free Book From Cisco
Wow! I feel 50% loved by Cisco as I got the alarm clock but not the zip cord. But, don't feel too jealous of me, the clock wouldn't keep the time and all it wouldn't stop playing some stupid song. The city dump has it now... ;-) > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Nguyen_Trang > Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2000 2:17 PM > To: 'Muhammad Asif Rashid'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Free Book From Cisco > > > Hmmm, no alarm clock and no modem extension cord. > Guess, Cisco is being the Grinch.

BCRAN COLT Question
I'm preparing for the BCRAN exam that I plan on taking at the end of the month. I've run across a question in Cisco's COLT that has an answer--according to COLT-- that I don't agree with. Before the replies fly about the quality of the COLT, I did see the thread a while back about the quality of the questions. I've found some of their questions to be useful as long as I verify the answer (& the question) in the official Cisco press book or at CCO. Here's the question: Question 16 of 44. Which of the following is considered the primary part of the dialer profile? A. dialer pool B. dialer interface C. physical interface D. mapclass COLT's answer was A. In reading the Cisco press book, there is nothing that would lead me to a direct answer. However, I propose that it is B simply because it's what defines all of the configuration characteristics specific to a destination (page 240 of my book). Any thoughts on this? _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
COLT Questions & Answers to Trade
I've been going through the COLT exams for BCRAN, BCMSN, & CIT. Since they are nice enough to let you go through each quiz multiple times, I've got ~100 questions for each exam. I'm looking for BSCN COLT questions and answers to complete my study guides for my final CCNP exam. Anyone care to trade email me direct... _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Passed CIT, failed Founation exam.
Dave- I'm curious if you've retaken the exam yet? I need to retake as well and am curious how much of the exam was repeated from the first. Did you see the same questions? Did they try to re-order answers or re-word the questions? Thanks- d -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2000 6:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Passed CIT, failed Founation exam. Saturday I took both the Foundation exam and CIT exams. The CIT was moderately difficult with lots of questions on CCO, Catalyst 5000, and AppleTalk. Scored 759 out of 692 required. Failed the Foundation exam, (combination of Remote Access, Routing, & Switching exams). Each section is scored seperately but no where could I find the minimum score required to pass each section of the Foundation exam. My score where as follows: Routing720Pass Switching702Fail Remote Access 728Pass Does anyone know where to get info on the cut off scores? I thought the cut off was 700, I guess not. I plan on re-studying Wednesday and Thursday nights then retake the Fondation on Friday. The ironic thing is I took the Foundation Thursday, Passed Switching & Remote Access, but failed Routing. I boned up on Routing and Switching then my Switching score dropped. I am bound and determined to pass this exam Friday!
