Meters and Feet

I have decided to sit this exam as my work will pay 95% of the exam cost and I need a break from CCNP
I have noticed that the training material I used (sybex) says Meter Eg 10Base2 185 meters, however when using practice exams (boson) it asks me in feet! Will it be a mix of the two in the exam?

Got the exam next friday

Most likely you will encounter the meteric to English measurement conversions along the line. But, just remember 1 meter=3.28 ft.

Memorize it, then conversion is easy.

Good luck!

does it have to be that accuract ie x3.28!? its not gonna have what it the max distance for 10BaseT?
A. 328 Feet
B. 326 Feet

etc ?

surely not!

LOL! That is so funny

CompTIA questions are not 'that' sneaky. 'If' the use feet as a metric in a question about cable lengths, which I doubt is the case, the incorrect answers will be the valid length of other media in feet, so not that close to each other.

When I wrote the test a couple of months ago, they used meters as a unit of measurement eg 10base5 = 500 m 10base2 = 185 m. Most of the books that I came across used it as well. Just as a precaution, you can jot down the unit equivalent on the writing pad @ the testing center for a reference. Best of luck!

I just ignored the metric system most of the time during the questions.

I just remembered this.

T, TX, CX = 100
100 = 100
2 = 185
5 = 500

But I'm going to assume that's all in meters?

Every question I've seen on A+ and Net+ had the answers in metric and English. ie.-

A. 100m (328 ft.)

You can bet on the metric system exclusively. Cable lengths are regulated by the IEEE, they dont use the american system as they are an international entity, and since everyone conforms to IEEE, if you got a question that wanted the answer in the american system I would challenge the test, and you would win.

With the exception maybe of - How many feet are in 100 meters, as that would be practical knowledge applied here in the states. But if they asked how many feet a lan segment on 10base5 would be I would challenge it.
