RE: CID Exam Cert Book [7:39669]
Although SNA is said to have been removed, the feedbacks that I receive daily, tell me otherwise. There are indeed SNA questions in the new CID exam. I am sure these are the questions that Cisco has failed to remove from the database completely, but they show up in the real life exams anyway, and you should be aware of that. You may certainly bypass AppleTalk, IPX and Stratacom questions when practicing for the CID exam, but please do not discount SNA questions yet.

Re: CID Exam Cert Book [7:39669]
Hi I took exam on 04/01 (this Monday). No questions were about SNA, AT. But i could find some questions were from DeskTop protocol design and lots from WAN. I took the same exam on 01/02, that time lots of questions from SNA. Recently exam duration is about 90 Minutes (last time 120 Minutes - 100 questions) 75 questions. Hope above helps. All the best.

RE: CID Exam Cert Book [7:39669]
The book is not that great. It has many errors and omissions. I recommend the Cisco Press Top-Down Network Design book for the new CID exam. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of STRAND Scott Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 12:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CID Exam Cert Book [7:39669] Has anyone who has taken the CID exam used the Cisco CID Exam Certification Guide.
