RE: CID passed with 839, CCDP complete, details inside
I've commented to Cisco on every single test, going as far as to include my eMail information in the comment. Priscilla has tried to contact Cisco as well, and without success as I understand it. It is unfortunate that Cisco does not seek out a few of the more active members of this board to provide Alpha information on the test and, better yet, acknowledge the fact that people care enough to comment on the examination. My fear is that they feel the don't have to, can now charge for the betas, and still maintain demand in the industry. I, for one, have seen a definate waining from enterprise customers for certifications - in fact, one of my smaller customers wrote a description stating "No CCIEs" recently under the guise that they wanted a junior operations person.

RE: CID passed with 839, CCDP complete, details inside
No I have NEVER gotten feedback... Never And I have commented on all my CCNA, DA, NP, and DP test... I have pointed out a few glaring incorrect answers/questions and a few I am pretty sure... I also asked on a few questions why ask this... is there a point to a CCxx knowing how to spell this? In the end it is not the contact I want but knowing that my comment was read and if I was right... the problem addressed. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chuck Larrieu Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2000 6:02 PM To: Kevin Wigle; Robert Padjen; Scott Brenner; Andre' Paree-Huff; Cisco@Groupstudy.

RE: CID passed with 839, CCDP complete, details inside
I failed the CID first time through, passed it second time. On both tests there was a particular question, which fell into a "security" category ( in my mind anyway ) There were 3 wrong answers and one right answer. I will go to my grave convinced that there is an error on the test, and the real question is "which of these is NOT" rather than "which of these IS" BTW - anyone EVER gotten any feedback from Cisco on comments made during the test on test questions?

Re: CID passed with 839, CCDP complete, details inside
There's a 50/50 chance anyone could get 0 on the security section, since there's only one question! Also, quite a few of the questions on the CID test are tricky and weird, so maybe that one is too. I checked my score and I got it right, but I'm used to the trickiness. &;-) As I recall, the course developer removed the security section from the CID 3.0 class anyway. To tell you the truth, I think that it's a mistake that there's any question on the topic. The objectives that Cisco publishes for CID 3.0 are based on the 2.0 version of the class. Really they are. That's why so many of the books missed the fact that there are StrataCom questions on the test.

RE: CID passed with 839, CCDP complete, details inside
Its a single question, and, I believe, it is not the one that it would appear to be. By unofficial polling I'd say 70+% get it 'wrong.'

CID passed with 839, CCDP complete, details inside
100 questions, took me 32 of 120 minutes allowed, and I walked out with an 839 and my spiffy new CCDP :-) The exam has the following sections and I've listed my scores 1 Intro to Internetwork Design62% 2 Campus LAN design62% 3 TCP/IP network design88% 4 desktop protocol design80% 5 WAN design 76% 6 SNA design 71% 7 security issues 0% (!)(more on this below) For prep I used the Cisco Press CID book and the boson.com pretest. I spent about a month after completing my CCDP just letting my brain cool off then I crammed for the CID in about two weeks. The BCMSN material does an excellent job of covering the Campus LAN design portion, BSCN takes care of the TCP/IP network design, and BCRAN covers a bit of the WAN design questions. I studied for the CCNP 1.0 track and I took the ACRC exam last spring and missed it by one question. I mostly took it to get that stuff out of my head so I could work on switching and I didn't bother to retest but I feel that working through the Sybex ACRC book and the IPX and Appletalk labs in the CCIE Lab Study Guide really carried me on that portion. The information in the Cisco Press book is NOT I repeat NOT sufficient - you really need ACRC level skills to get by this thing. There are a number of questions on Stratacom stuff in the WAN portion. On pp367 of the Cisco Press CID book you will find this URL http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wanbu/82/switch/sysm/sysmch01.htm Learn all of the magic incantations on this page and you will be protected from the ATM demon during your 640-025 exam :) I am a big fan of mastery rather than rote learning but in this case the boson.com exam proved invaluable - their questions are very, very close to what you'll find on the actual exam and you can practice test your way to a passing grade if you need to do so. As gross and as useless as it is for 92% of the people working on this certification, you *must* know a little bit about SNA. I had done workstation support in a huge SNA shop so it wasn't entirely foreign and a long time ago (5+ years), for reasons I forget, I purchased and read a large portion of Communications for Cooperating Systems - OSI, SNA, and TCP/IP. This book is a psychotic piece of IBM backed propaganda which argues for the subordination of TCP/IP and the OSI model in the perfect (I use the word in the facist sense) SNA world. If you can shield your mind from the IBM borgification procedures its actually not a bad read if you want to get some background on SNA. FWIW it is ISBN 0-201-50775-7 and my copy was 'updated with corrections' in 1992. If you don't have the aforementioned marvelous tome of IBM wisdom the CID book covers a lot of what you need to know. The 0% on security was quite a suprise and I still wonder if it isn't a misprint from the test software based on my final score- I was a script kiddie way back when before there was even a word for it and I am very used to looking at other's stuff with a probing eye. I guess the mindset of those that are trained to defend is a lot different than that of those of us who took the Wyatt Earp route to getting our sherrif's badge. Good luck, good studying, and if you're tired of people 'borrowing' your linux box take a look at www.openbsd.org - its the best script kiddie repellent I've found so far. _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
