| On your pass.
May I ask what you used for your revision and if you have had any previous Cisco experience?
 | |
| Mr_Porter 2002-09-03, 9:26 am |
| Glad to hear it! I hope that you gained as much form this forum as I have been... | |

| A first time poster with 1000 on a very difficult exam. Something is not right about that.
Has anyone else noticed that the perfect score is becoming commonplace?
I thought that a pass and knowledge of the subject was the entire point of exams and then share and educate others if not on this forum then in real life situations.
It appears that the Cisco certification is not free of paper CCNA’s.

That does sound a little too good to be true. Did you notice that he(she) had been a member of the forum since Jan 2002 and had never posted. Myself, I had been a member for several months before my first post, also. However, there does seem to be a lot of really high scores for a test that was supposed to have been made more difficult with the latest revision. Makes one think about taking the exam without all that studying and sweating. Maybe it is not as difficult as Cisco wants you to believe.

| Sexy Lexy 2002-09-04, 5:29 pm |
| This could be true also.
It could be myth that the tests have been difficult to keep the certification credible.
On the other hand I know a few people who have recently sat the exam and they have commented that the CCNA is indeed a hard exam for the entry level certification.
Which brings me back to my original point: The perfect pass mark for an exam that has the reputation for being hard is becoming commonplace. I suspect that some people are using other revision materials than hands-on experience and the Cisco or Sybex books, brain dumps in other words.
Which is a shame because you do not deserve the Certification unless you have the knowledge and experience and have put the hard work and effort into the exam.

| The test itself is not too bad, it is the passing score that makes it hard. 3 years ago, when I had little Cisco experience, I scored 776 and the passing is 760. I scored much better three years later.
The test is relatively easy for one who has about 1 to 2 years of network experience and configured a few routers.
Talk about braindumps for CCNA, one of my customer showed me one last week. It has every question that I got and even the screen shots from the sims. How can you NOT get a 1000?!
I am to say that I came close, but not quite gotten the 1000. What I am trying to say is that, it is easy to pass, but hard to get the 1000! | |
| CruelSpecies 2002-09-06, 1:37 pm |
| Maybe he did use braindumps or maybe he didn't. Well done for passing. I did a 1 week course and passed my CCNA with 910 no braindumps. So maybe its not as hard as they want you to think it is. It was definately the hardest exam I have done so far but not impossible. | |
|
| needless to say this is an awesome score! Congrats  | |
| CoffeeFreak 2002-09-07, 10:17 am |
| yeah,
even if he did use braindumps, he sure had to work hard memorizing them to get a 1000..
but still
Braindumps = BAD in my book. | |
| freak 2002-09-07, 10:29 am |
| why be so cynical??? | |
| Sexy Lexy 2002-09-07, 10:36 am |
| I think coffeefreak is being a realist. Having such a high score through brain dumps is nothing to boast about.
A pass is a pass regardless but if braindumps were used to get 1000 then the certificate is not worth the paper it's printed on.
| |
| freak 2002-09-07, 10:53 am |
| my point is that this person never said that they had used braindumps. It is an assumption based on a score. I have gotten 1000 scores before, and I have never touched a dump.
I am not saying that he didn't use them, but I am saying that at this stage we do not know that for a fact... | |
| Sexy Lexy 2002-09-07, 11:18 am |
| Freak, I couldn't agree with you more. If the pass is legitimate then the congratulations are well deserved.
As the person is new to the site and has yet to reply to the questions then they don't mind taking credit of passing without helping others (Most answer questions after starting a thread with help on what areas to concentrate on in the exam or revision material used) or they have used brain dumps and have no other answer.
Besides, a pass is a pass regardless of score. Why are people obsessed with 100% in the test anyway? It makes absolutely no difference. The only reason is to boast about the score.
A thread asking for help or advice does not get half as many replies as a thread for passing an exam.
Isn’t that what the forum is all about? | |
| CoffeeFreak 2002-09-07, 11:31 am |
| Good point guys, we are talking like this guy has already been proven guilty, haha
I agree with both of you lex and freak. | |
| Deus_Meridius 2002-09-07, 12:07 pm |
| Why is everyone so hard on people that give their score? The guy got a 1000? So what? Congrats to him on it. That is impressive. You should be proud of it!
BTW, he did post his score but he also offered thanks to the people here. Its not like he said "1000 perfect score! HAAHAHA I AM BETTER THAN YOU ALL!" ehhehe everyhone should just settle down and worry about their own studies/scores

| Sexy Lexy 2002-09-07, 2:30 pm |
| What is the difference between passing the exam with 1000, 900 or by hitting the pass mark with the exact score?
There is no distinction between the pass marks, the certificate won't be different and you will still hold the same qualification as everyone else that has passed the exam.
Regardless of the score a pass is just a pass and nothing more. | |
| SureshHomepage 2002-09-07, 9:17 pm |
| Congratulations!....no doubt it is the best highest score I ever heard! | |

| you people are sad---
no wonder i stopped looking at this site.
this reenforces my opinion of the caliber of this group

| Welcome to the calibre again ervinl1 by participating in the thread.
No one has yet disproved the validity of the argument that the score is not important as long as you passed.
And with comments as helpful as yours I doubt no one ever will.
We would all be a lot better off if you adopted you old ways again. | |
|
| Two things:
1. The only score that matters for a PASS is the OFFICIAL passing score -- no crap
2. From a personal stand point, I always shoot for the TOP score. I never settle for second best. And the PERSONAL aspect of the certification business is more important to me than the OFFICIAL one.
As for posting about a perfect score, I understand it, especially if it is the first one he got. It is always exciting to get a perfect result from hard work. Why not post it and share the euphoria? | |
| tknterry 2002-09-08, 12:56 pm |
| I think its a conspiracy! Evil people post scores of 1000 so that they can sit back and laugh at jealous obssesive conspiracy theorists who post and quibble endlessly about the mighty '1000' ! If a score doesnt matter then why worry? Dont reply to the post! I hope you find this post helpful, therapeutic and the answer to all the worlds problems ----- Terry | |

| Hi All,
Well iam probably going to piss you all of no end but for whats its worth heres my input.
Nobody will ever care what score anybody gets on a exam if its a pass. The idea of certification is to prove to possable employers that you have the required skills to do a job. Do any of you think that Mr 1000 will ever pull your conkers out of the fire in an emergency. Chances are no, mostly because in the real world you need common sense and experience to do the job and a certificate doesnt configure a router does it?
Ive just completed the cisco networking acadamy program after 2 years at night school, and am looking to sit the ccna exam in the next month, with that in mind can the bloke whose customer had the braindump get me their phone number? (or the url would be fine!!!!)
Clueless | |

| upon re-reading my post, I find it a bit harsher than intended. I meant to inject a bit of humor in it. Instead it sounds quite judgemental. I was smiling when I typed it | |
| clueless 2002-09-09, 2:37 pm |
| Freak,
Dont worry about it. Thing is i get a bit pissed off at the whole cert thing. Ive been in the industry for 18 years now. Iam trying to get into a management role and struggling no end as i dont have any certs. Hence the ccna thing. It appears that in the UK the sole yardstick for rating people for employment is how many letters they have after their name. Bit of a bummer!!!!
clueless. | |
|
| It is a silly thing to only look at certs. On the other hand, it shows that the hiring managers out there are looking for shortcuts to limit the amount of potential candidate with whom they have to meet. They are looking for that one easy way of making two piles, the ins and the outs.
Obviously, as stated a million times on this forum and others, the cert is only one third of the equation: certs+degree+experience=deadly
combination | |
| locknload 2002-09-10, 10:09 pm |
| I can tell you that employers could care less about certs if you don’t have any experience. In today’s economy if you have every cert possible and no experience you are unemployed!
I personally enjoy learning everything related to IT. I consider it more a hobby. The certs just give me a goal to go along with the learning experience and thus add to the enjoyment of it all. So coming from my perspective taking tests without learning seems ridiculous. | |

| "I personally enjoy learning everything related to IT. I consider it more a hobby. The certs just give me a goal to go along with the learning experience ...."
This is my viewpoint exactly. I already have a good job fortunately and this is more a hobby than anything. I know many ppl dont already have a good job and so Im very fortunate in being able to regard certs less seriously than others. My next cert will be for MCP, whenever I feel like doing it | |

| Yep Freak definitely tops the list. What shall we do to mark the momentous occasion of the 5500th post?
-----Terry | |
|
| Congrats on your score but it is unimaginable to score 1000, I'd really like to know how you did that. Pls, could you let me know what materials and the stuff you used. | |
| tknterry 2002-09-11, 9:34 am |
| Loobs, maybe it was a miracle! ----Terry | |

Thanks I may have to do something special for the 6000th post | |
|
| Terry----- I sure do believe in miracles but they dont just happen, something triggers them to happen and I sure would like to know the 'something' that triggered that to happen. | |
|
| Freak- when do u anticipate to get to your 6000th post so that we could celebrate?, Anyway, Congrats all the same.
How many do u post in a day? | |
| MaulerJ 2002-09-13, 1:24 pm |
| I figure I will study and do hands on for about a month, set a router and switch up at the casa and using Cybex, and then find like I did for my Net+ all the sites I can to donload practice test questions..... Vegitate for one more week and then take the test.
Sound good | |

I post between 100 and 150 posts a week I would say, although it varies greatly... I have no idea when I get to 6000 posts, but I will probably run a little contest with some free study guides for the winner | |
| duanesnyder 2002-09-15, 6:42 pm |
| My CCNA instructor keeps telling us, don't wory about a thing, if you scores at the cisco net acadamy are avove 90 on every test that we will think the final test is very easy. He has told us a number of times, that the weekly tests are harder than the final, I see no reason that he would lie. so for one I believe it will be easy.. !! ( we are on semester 4 chapter 5 and I have never has under a 90 on a test.) | |

LOL Don't worry about that, the content of your post more than made up for the spelling! | |
| edmonds_robert 2002-09-17, 4:09 pm |
| The test really isn't that hard. Especially for people who have experience and have studied hard. And if you have experience and prior certs in relative areas, you are way ahead of the game. When I sat for my CCNA, I already had more than two very solid years experience in networking, plus my MCSE cert. These two combined gave me a solid foundation and understanding of the basics of TCP/IP and allowed me to only miss one question on the test without the benefit of braindumps. And I'm not a genius by any stretch of the imagination. If this guy is just a little smarter than me (which wouldn't be too difficult) 1000 would be a cinch. Good job.
And if you sat for it and didn't get 1000, well, I'm sorry for you. Study harder next time. That's my 0.02 USD. | |
|
| that's a great, reasonable post. Thanks. |
