Two other problems with Cisco beta exams is that they are often loaded with errors (meaning you can get an answer right, but not get the points), and that you don't learn the results for months. In your case, you'd spend two months not knowing if you're CCNP is valid (I couldn't handle the pressur

I needed to pad out my resume with a few good certs before I renew my CCNP and start the CCIE track. Wireless is a hot topic, and these were two pretty easy one-test resume fillers (and kinda fun to play with). SE = (wireless) System Engineer FE = (wireless) Field Engineer Here are links to th

I passed both the SE and FE exams first time out using the CWNA book and bosons. Between these two sources you should have everything you need. Take the SE first (its a little easier). The WB On Wed, 2003-07-02 at 09:23, Vijay Anand wrote: > hello all > > i want to know ,,how is Cisco wirele

I passed both the Wireless SE and FE exams using the CWNA book and the bosons. The two exams have about 70% overlap, I'd go ahead and take them both to double certify. Since the SE is easier, I'd do that one first. Just my $.02 The WB On Mon, 2003-06-23 at 11:03, Joao Medeiros wrote: > with cc

I'm trying to get ready to take the new BCRAN when it comes out, but all the study guides are focused on the old exam. For those who took the beta, can you give me any guidance on these three topics - VPN, QoS and Traffic Shaping. I'm not looking for anybody to break the NDA, I just want to know h

I took the new switching beta this weekend (I'll find out if I passed sometime in the future). Since I passed the old version, I figured I'm qualified to make a comparison. The old exam was ridiculously heavy with type-in-the-command type questions - a pure memorization-fest. The new one is mu

I believe there was an extensive conversation within the group in the last few months that the difference wasn't so much with what topics being covered, but rather that the level of difficulty was ratcheted up.
