CCNA Test 2

[NetworkGuy101]

When you take the CCNA test are you able to return to a question if you want to answer it later during the test?

Here's what I found in Cisco's FAQ's for the test:

Q:How will the simulations work on the Cisco exams?

A:Besides answering the usual multiple choice and fill in response questions, candidates will face a few performance simulation questions, which will approximate a networking environment. Candidates will be presented with a real-life scenario and a networking topology to address specific tasks through router commands. The responses that a candidate enters will need to be the same as those one would expect in a real-life networking situation.

Router simulation exams items will accept abbreviated commands that an actual Cisco router will understand. For example: 'Show Config' or ‘Sho Cofig’ or ‘Sh Conf’ and ‘Router #show ip protocol’ or ‘router # show ip prot’ would be acceptable. The exam commands must include the correct spacing, spelling and marks (#@!?).

The router simulation exam questions do not require candidates to save the configuration prior to exiting the simulation question to receive credit.

The exam simulation questions allow candidates to move back and forth within the simulation question to modify answers. Once the "Next" button is hit the exam will continue to the next question. Candidates will not be given the option to go back to review the simulation question or modify their answer. Please note Cisco Career Certification exams are delivered in sequence and do not allow skipping or marking a question to answer later.

Exam simulation questions carry greater weight than typical multiple-choice or fill-in-the-blank test questions in calculating a candidates' final exam score. At the end of the exam the overall score will be calculated and the candidate will be provided with a score report pinpointing areas of strength and weakness.

An Exam Interface Tutorial is also provided for review at

http://www.cisco.com/go/examtutorial.

It is recommended that candidates become familiar with the exam functionality before sitting an exam so candidates are focused on the exam questions rather than how to correctly use the tools. The tutorial familiarizes users with the software tools used in the Career Certification exams.

Know iof any good practice tests for the CCNA?

 

[pmesjar]

Search the net - there are tons of free ones. If you want to pay, there is Testking, Boson... but don't forget experience using real routers!!!

I actually have a Boson CD but it is much harder than the questions in the book. I guess that is a good thing. I have plenty of real world experience though.

 

[lgarner]

I used Boson for the CSPFA and did well. There are really two skills being measured by the tests: your actual product knowledge, and your ability to answer questions as phrased by Cisco. No harm in being over-prepared for both.

So during a router simulation if I eneter the wrong commands in 3 times and then enter the right one on the fourth and move on to the next question I wont get counted off for the 3 will I?

 

[pmesjar]

Not sure if I understand your last post, but one suggestion - before finishing the simulation always double check your config using "sh run" or "sh start"

Well I mean If I the purpose is to block telnet on a router and instead I block FTP then remember the port for telnet before I leave the question and enter the correct command I wil still get full credit for it right?

yes, as long as you do not leave the simulation you can go back and make changes to what you put. once you leave the sim question, it's done though, no going back. that goes for all the questions.
