Actually, I too believe the V2 CCNP exams are too easy - and I don't have years of experience working on Cisco equipment.
The sections of the CCNP test I scored highest on were those that I learned the night before, or the day of. Just reading a chapter 24 hours prior to taking the exam was better preparation than skimming chapters of information I knew. Does that make sense? The CCNP questions were based way too closely on the CCNP course guides. I posted a message about this some time back, and said that Cisco was its own worst enemy--it was the one that was creating "paper CCNP's" as a result. You shouldn't be able to do what I did. Personally, I'm glad the tests are changing--but I'd hope that V3 doesn't have the same fault as V2. And one final point on this... I wrote the old CCNP ACRC exam and found that one to be quite challenging--nothing like the V2 exams. I also found the CCNA exams (V1 and V2) to be more difficult than the V2 CCNP exams. So in summary - posts about the CCNP exams being "too easy" aren't necessarily "big ego" issues, but rather in some part, based in fact. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Brian Zeitz Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 7:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: CCNP exams-The Truth [7:38249] I think what happened was the guy that wrote this got his CCNP after years of hard studying, and working on Cisco equipment. Now he has it, he post that it is so easy so Cisco makes it harder. I am sorry, but a person (not saying me) going for CCNA, it might seem like an impossible task. After all the CCNA covers more areas then some of the other exams I believe. My point is that every exam is hard, depending on the persons experience. Well now you have CCNP, you can post over and over how easy it is instead of helping people in this newsgroup. What are you trying to do, trying to get Cisco to make the test harder so you have job security? Also if the CCNP was so easy for you, probably didn't do it right, because between the 4 exams they cover a lot of material. And a lot of the material is very relivant to the CCIE exams as well. How about you stop posting garbage and post something useful to this group. That's great you got your CCNP and now are looking down on everyone. I am sure you don't like it when a CCIE does the same thing to you. Could you check your big ego at the door.
