Re: Closest to the real one...
Ben, I think that you misunderstood what Juan was saying. He said that he failed the COLT practice test, not the real Cisco exam. Anyone can fail the COLT tests because most of them are just plain terrible, as has been attested to many others who have had no problems with the actual Cisco exams but could not do well on the COLT tests. Don't use your results on the COLT tests to determine whether you are ready for the real exam.

RE: Closest to the real one...
sorry folks, one of those days. Up to my ears in ISIS. anyhow, Juan, do not feel despondent, take from the exam the areas in which you are short in, get a book or other study method, study them for around a week and sit the exam again. I bet you'll pass it then. Good luck. -Original Message-From: Juan Blanco [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: 16 November 2000 13:41To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Subject: Closest to the real one...

RE: Closest to the real one...
Robert, If you take any test enough times you will end up knowing all the answers of by heart, so you will answer without even thinking about the question really. Thats a real problem with these type of tests. It suprising how quickly one can "learn" the answers to 600 questions. Having said all that, I found that the boson tests related to the prometric exam more closely than the cisco online test did. This was for my CCNA bye the way. What you should do is indentify your weak areas using the cisco online tests and swot up on them. I am currently studying for my BSCN, im using CB T's and info ripped from the cisco web site. Ive also got the boson tests, aint used them yet tho to test me i have some more studying to do yet !!!

RE: Closest to the real one...
I used the Boson test #3 to practice for the BSCN and usually scored in the 80% range. Yesterday I passed the BSCN with a score in the 900's. So if you are getting 100% then I think you'll be ok on the test (you only need about 69% which is pretty sad if you think about it). -Original Message- From: Juan Blanco [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 November 2000 13:41 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Closest to the real one...

Re: Closest to the real one...
As has been stated many times in this discussion group, the Cisco On-Line tests are, for the most part, terrible. Even Priscilla found them confusing, inaccurate, and in some cases just plain wrong! To prove this point, I took one of them OPEN BOOK and still just barely passed it! They are a pool of questions that were not accepted for the real exam, and they have incorrect answers, no correct answers, improper wording, things taken directly from a valid source and subsequentlyreworded to change the meaning, etc. One test that I took had the following: (1). 10 incorrect answers, as verified by looking up the answer. (2). 8 wrongly worded questions - taken from a Cisco Press Book and then promptly incorrectly re-worded. (3). 5 ambiguous questions - written in such a way that no answer given was correct. This aloneis enough to make you fail the test. Just don't waste your time with them. If you score highly on them then the following is probably true: (1). You are a lucky quesser - your quess was in fact incorrect but matched the wrong answer from the test. (2). You don't really know the material. Most of these tests are an embarrassment to Cisco, and if they are going to offer them they should correct them. But since they are meaningless anyway why bother?

RE: Closest to the real one...
I use this test usually a week before the exams that I take. I have used the Colt exams for the Switching exam and for the remote access exam. It is good for finding out your weak areas. What I do is that I print out every question and when I get the results I read the question that I got wrong and then read the chapter regarding this question again. And if I still do not get it I try to find and read papers about it on the CCO. After that I take the test again and do the same thing over. I can separate my study into few stages and this procedure has worked for me. 1. I collect and read as much study material as I can find. I try to get the Cisco Press book regarding the exam I am taking so I can see what material is on the exam. For example I am now reading for the BSCN exam and I one of the books that I bought was Building Scalable Cisco Networks by Catherine Paqet.(the first 100 pages are good by the way) The books that I am reading now for the BSCN are: -Building Scalable Cisco Networks by Catherine paqet -BSCN Building Scalable Cisco Networks by Tom Thomas II -CCIE Professional Development: Routing TCP/IP by Jeff Doyle - Internet routing Architectures by Basam Halabi - Advanced Routing Configuration student guide from the class (My former colleague at work got it in the old ACRC class. -BGP4 Inter-Domain Routing in the Internet by John W Stewart (I have already read that one ) -Ospf Anatomy of the internet by Moy (I have already read that one so I will just need it to brush up before the exam) 2. After I have read the books I take the case studies and do them here at work. Sometimes I do that while I am on step 2 so stages 1 and 2 get somewhat mixed up. I try to take at least two weeks for case studies and labs for each exam. I work with cisco routers so that helps immensely at this stage. 3. Last one or two weeks before the exam I start preparing for the exam itself. I do that by reading books that collect the material together like The Choriolis Exam Cram and exam prep series. On this stage I take one or two books from the reading part and read them again (Usually I read over the summaries and the case studies). On this part I usually print out related material from the CCO and read some RFCs. 4) The last one week before each exam I take as many practice exams as I can get my hands on. Boson,Colt and free practice exams on the net. And of course I read emails from this list on all stages I see the study procedure for each exam as a small step on my way to the ultimate goal "To gain knowledge to be (hopefully) better in what I am doing". That goal will reach far beyond the CCIE (s).

RE: Closest to the real one...
Boson has three different practice tests for each certification test. They are all available in the same software package but you have to pay for each one individually. I always just select one of the three test and use it but I think other people buy more than one practice test.

RE: Closest to the real one...
They are all written by different authors so all the questions will be different but they will all cover the same exam content. I think you'd be ok buying any of the three although you can generally find someone with a preference for one test or the other.
