Command line test question

I take my test in 2 weeks, and I was wondering how pin point they were on there CLI. See Below for an example.
Instead of typing;
Router1>enable
Router1#configure terminal
Can you type the following;
Router1>en
Router1#config t
I have been busting my back with CLI, and I have been short-cutting via not entering the full command. Does Cisco allow this on there simulation questions, or must you type it in full?
Thanks in advance,
Bruce

Same. However someone once said that a test is your opportunity to show knowledge, and it is never bad practice to type out the whole command.
Just us IT guys like shortcuts that make work fasterCurrently PursuingWGU (BS in IT Network Administration) - 52%| CCIE:Voice Written - 0% (0/200 Hours)mikej412 wrote:Cisco Networking isn't just a job, it's a Lifestyle. -

I suggest using the shortcuts as it will help you get the test done in the time allotted.
Good luck! -

I don't see how typing out "show ip interface brief" shows more knowledge than "sh ip int br".
In fact, I'd say it's the opposite.Currently reading:

A little trivia
I always used to type out "sh ip int brief" because "sh ip int br" wouldn't work on any router with a ISDN BRI port. You'd get
Router#sh ip int br
% Incomplete command.
Router#sh ip int br?
BRI brief
You don't see many of those ports around anymore, so nowadays the command can be shortened in most cases.
