 Finally passed MPLS with 925.

 Comparing to the other core exams for CCIP, this exam was by far the most
 intense.  Any reason(s) why Cisco has this exam rated at 867 to pass?

don't know about this one in particular, but I am beginning to suspect that
Cisco is starting to look at higher passing scores with fewer questions
being asked, particularly for the specialty tests. The wireless cert test I
recently passed had a passing score of 790 and only 50 questions.

I'm assuming you've taken the BGP and the QoS exams. Were those higher
passing scores and relatively few questions as well? In your estimation, how
many questions is reasonable for a specialty exam?





 Rgds,
 Mark.

hi Chuck,

That's the thing, the other exams were the usual 750-ish (give or take a
few) with between 55-60 q's.  The MPLS exam was 66q's in 75 min.

In retrospect, 60 q's for the 75min for me is reasonable for specialty exams
with a 750  Finally passed MPLS with 925.

I wanted more questions on both the QoS and MPLS test.  The BGP exam
was perfect, except the questions/material were too easy.  There is a lot of
material for the QoS test, and it seems like they could add more questions
to
cover more of the material so that you know you will be getting x number
of
questions from each section.  There were sections in the QoS material that
didn't get asked...I was upset to have studied for them.

The BGP and QoS tests definitely had more questions than MPLS, and the
scoring was REALLY too too high for MPLS for a reasonable pass rate, IMO.

I was asking the same question.  I just failed this test...and after passing
the QoS and BGP exams (I thought BGP was too easy, btw).  To be honest, I
thought the QoS test was more difficult until I found out my score on MPLS.

While taking the MPLS test, there was only one or two questions that I
thought I didn't know the answer to, but it turns out I failed by two
questions (Got a score of 839).  Now I know why people say this is the
hardest test for CCIP.

Let me know how you got a 925!!  What did you study and how many times did
you go over the material?  Sheesh.
