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. Sankaran STRAND Scott wrote: > Thanks for all the book suggestions. (see my original post). I do already > have TDND as well as the CID exam Cert book.
