Other news of the week
- Cisco will be adding questions to the beginning of the exam. It’s intended to add security to test, because apparently people are cheating somehow. I have heard of this before from groupstudy, but it would seem that you would have to put the same amount of effort in cheating that you would in actually studying. And then there’s that whole thing of having to back up the credential with actual work.
- This is sorta the reason why we started the study group.
-
- First, I had read updates last year indicating that they were trying interviews out in Beijing and so this is no surprise
- Another reason why this feeds into why we started this group
-
- I have failed the lab exam before
-
- This time I want to make sure that I know the information, beyond the CLI
-
- I want to be able to explain the technology in my own words
-
- This is why we post blog articles and videos and as it turns out, it’s hard, and I am not very good at it. Which tells me that I have a lot of work to do
So I am extending an invitation to the community. If you want to post an example of an open ended question or a video or blog entry of what your response to an open ended question would be and do not want the headache of maintaining your own blog or youtube account. My email address is pwcs.dia@gmail.com and I will post your stuff so that we can critique each other and hopefully foster an environment for active learning.
Internetwork Expert has posted a list of example questions. Those can be found here.
That’s it for this week… Comments and heckling welcome…
