Difference between MCP tests and CCNA - Help please?

Hi

I am planning to sit the CCNA test on Friday! Can anyone who has sat the exam tell me what the differences are between the CCNA test and the MCP, in terms of functionality in the test. I understand there are router/switch simulations, and drag and drops (though you get drag and drops with the MCPs). My specific questions are:

Can you go backwards to previous questions and change your answers?
Is there a review page at the end?
Can you Mark questions for review and go back to them?

Are there any other significant differences to the MCP Microsoft style of exam (other than the content obviously )

Thanks in advance - any other advice would be gratefully received.

I have done the ccna exam with both Prometric and Vue and to answer your questions:

Can you go backwards to previous questions and change your answers?
No

Is there a review page at the end?
No

Can you Mark questions for review and go back to them?
No

There is an "Exam Interface Tutorial" in the prep centre on the Cisco website. The whole thing is a developed version of the sim / test resources which are provided with the Cisco systems books.

Hope that covers everything.
Good Luck

There is also a tutorial at the begining of the test that will walk you through all of the different types of questions. The time spent on this tutorial does not count as test time. Even though I have taken several Cisco test, I always walk though the tutorial. There are multiple guess single answer and multiple guess multiple answer questions. The multiple guess/multiple answer will not let you move on until you answer the question with the speified number of answers. You can not make questions to go back on. After you answer the last question the next screen tells you either you failed or passed. The testing center will provide you with a cryptic print out of your results. The results will be broken down in precentages in 4 catagories.
