RE: 9E0-541 Exam trobules [7:65162]

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.

Damm routing and switching Spec. exam 9E0-541, I have taken It two times in
two weeks, and failed both times the first time I got 819 need 825, today I
got 777, 

I am s pissed, at myself for the mostpart

but this exam is rather hard, atleast the version I got to day, the one I
got last week was ok, but I just did not know anything about the SOHO
products, so that failed me, but today totaly diffrent,

I  totaly agree with you about the point of pepole just learning what is
enough to pass the tests, and take them again and again just to pass them,
As I come from a microsoft background and am a former Microsoft MCT traineer
I know this all to well, as it is a even bigger problem on that side.
I work in a cisco enviroment all day,  but as I am from a small contry with
a small market, there are some products that I donĀ“t see a lot off, so I can
be hard to get real word exerpince with the whole range of cisco products.
This routing and switching exam is in my opinion totaly difrent from the
other cisco exams I have taken, as the questions are very short and to the
point about some detail, and I would say 50% configuring and functonality of
IOS features and 50% product knowlidge, and I.M.H.O some of the product
question can be preati obscure.
I was looking for comments frome somone that has taken this exam, as to what
they used to prepair, you can be asured that I am going to be well prepaired
the next time I take the exam, and I will probably better get to know some
of the products I dont work with on an regular basis.

Well good luck to me one the next atempt, that is going to be the last one,
as I am not faling againg ;)
