Types of exam questions for CCENT?

jayskata

Hi All,

Just want to know what types of exam questions will I be expecting when I take the certification exam?

Multiple choice?
fill in the blanks?
Provide an explanation or what?

I don't want to spaced out or find myself scratching my head during the exam as always much appreciated if you can give me hints.

The CCENT and CCNA [at least the old ones that I took] were the same basic format, except I think the ICND2 gave you a little less time.

Single Choice (Radio Button)
Multiple Choice (Checkboxes)
Simulations
Simlets (Simulation with 4ish multiple choice questions that you have to answer)
Testlets (4ish multiple choice questions based on a single scenario/diagram/whatever)
Drag and Drop
[EDIT] The link above also lists fill in the blank

Unfortunately (due to the NDA), I'm not able to say which types of questions are more/less common.

One thing I've noted really with any multiple choice (Multiple Choice, Simlet, Testlet, etc...) type question on most cert providers is that one or two of the answers are usually way off and can be eliminated quickly, usually leaving you with 2 or 3 possible correct answers to choose from.
