Re: Recent CID takers pls comment
I'm definitely with Howard on this one. I plan on taking the CID within a month and I would expect scenarios to be on the test. How else would you really test design skills? I'm more worried that the test is just a bad test overall. I don't think I've read a single good thing about any version of it. Perhaps I'll wait until the newest release is out and I've heard some comment on that before I take it. If Cisco would bother to actually read the comments that people make on beta tests, perhaps they could come up with a solid design exam.

While scenarios can be interesting, don't expect any on CID 3.0. It's not a very well written test, but it's certainly passable if you know the material on the review guide.

Re: Recent CID takers pls comment
The DCN (CCDA) exam has scenarios akin to Microsoft's exams. The CID (CCDP) exam does not and will likely never have such a presentation. This is an interesting challenge as noted below as the test cannot fully address design. --- Craig Columbus [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: While scenarios can be interesting, don't expect any on CID 3.0.

Re: Recent CID takers pls comment
they were boring because the questions asked had little or "nitwit" relevance to what the companies wanted to do. in my opinion a ccda exam shd have had better and interesting scenarios. regards mongol --- "Howard C.

Let me offer a bit of perspective on nitwit-ism in the real world. When I taught the design/technical track of Cisco University (a program for resellers), all three tracks (design, sales, and operations) met as a group, then split up. We usually left the design track in the original room. I'd often start out by asking, "Anyone here from sales?" And someone would raise their hand. I'd respond. "Thank you. I'll speak slowly." Especially in a reseller context, you will often have to respond to scenarios in which you can only moan to the sales rep, "you sold them WHAAAT? And you want WHO to make it work?" There's a whole art to responding to bad specifications with systems that inflict minimal pain. Mind you, I don't think the design cert exams are this subtle, but a good CID class will get into how you manage customer expectations and respond to poor specifications. --- "Howard C.
