cisco exams

I'm taking my first cisco exam soon and was wondering if cisco questions were straight forward or if they were worded in ways to trick you?

Is it "you either know it or you don't"

or

you could know it but be tricked into the wrong answer

It's a little of both. The questions aren't straight up going to try and trick you, but attention to detail is a must.

I have my test in a week and asked this before too. I am taking the Odom practice tests from his DVD and at first was upset they seemed just like trick questions. I wanted to be tested on knowledge, not my reading comprehension. However, they are really helping with my understanding the concepts, so it is a welcome change. AT least going into the exam I'm going to make sure I read and understand the question before winging it.

Just like networker said, attention to detail is key. It is not unlikely for Cisco to test more than one thing with a single question so you need to know your stuff!
