I still think it would be a waste to memorize the entire command. In the real world you get the ? option so what point in memorizing everything. They're better off testing us on harder configs than making us type out the whole command and memorize the exact options. The CCNA is entry level and is not bound to any specific hardware or IOS version. We all know that commands are slightly different on the various routers and switches so it only makes sense to give the ? option. (example look at the difference in creating vlans on a 1900, 3500XL, and 2948GL-3) There is no CCIE that would be able to survive day without the ? option just the same as there is no UNIX admin that would get by without typing man " " or using some form of the -h option.
