How is the real CCNA Test ?

dede84

Hi,
on friday I'll try to pass the CCNA exam.
Can anybody tell me how the router-sim behaves in the real test ?
Is there a ? possible (would be too nice !) or is there a "TAB" possible to complete the commands (like the sim in the boson tests) ?

When there are more possible answers, is there a hint to the number of correct answers (like in boson tests) ?

1. the router will behave as a real one would

2. if the question has more than 1 answer it will tell u.

Like a real one with ? and tab allowed ? Wow !
An so far I know.....90 minutes for 55-65 questions ?
Are these 90 min enough or are there so many trobleshooting questions that you can get out of time ?

I haven't took the test yet but I read quite a few posts about all the people who have took it. Some people said that it was enough time for them and others said they took to long on the sims and almost ran out of time.

Best of luck!

The sim acts like an actual router. However, use of the "?" only pertains to the required task. Also, use of the "TAB" is not allowed.

hmm... when the "?" only pertains to the actual task then is this no problem whenn the neede commands to pass the lab are available.

Thanks !

Be careful not to under estemate the simulations. Practice them. They can make or break you.

Hmmmm....well....

failed this morning.....no "?" and no "TAB" available !!

But 815 for the 1st time is not too bad ....

I'm a little confused by the no "?" available. Yes, I'm new to the Cisco IOS so let me know if I'm getting what you're talking about wrong.

On the CCNA Exam if I type a ? after a command will I get this rest of the commands available like on a real router and the Boson NetSim?

As in....

As for the "Tab" I don't even know where you use it yet.

What they are saying is that you cannot issue the "?" command in the test simulation. Cisco is testing you to be sure that you know the commands without "help".

That's what I was afraid of. :P

Thanks for answering.

I heard many people say you can use the tab key. You need to have enough of the command written in order for the tab key to actually work.

Setting up frame-relay would be tuff for me because I always manage to type keys out of order because I try to type fast when under pressure
