Braindumps ??

I have a couple of questions.

1) is there partial credit for a partial correct answer (probabilly not but just wondering)

2) Are cramsheets the same as braindumps ? the reason I ask is I am using several cisco books for preping for my CCDA. But I find cramsheets like the one provided by this site help me with a quick review after a study session and a aid to find out my weak points for further review.

3) I have two cisco test engines they seem to do the job , but is there others I should use.

4) Is anyone else out there like me working 40-50 hours a week , pursuing a degree and certs all at the same time or am I crazy like some of my co-worker tell me

Braindumps are when someone sits the exam and publishes actual test questions that they were able to recall or record. It is expressly against the Non-Disclosure Agreement that they agree to when they sit the exam. Basically it is copyright infringement. But, it also undermines the efforts of people like you who work dilligently to master a subject, just to have someone else pass the same test and get the same certificate, based on stealing the test.

That is what I thought, But wanted to make sure that cramsheets were okay. I use them for review when I can't take a text book of computer with me. Also I wanted to make sure I wasn't cheating if a use a non cisco test engine as well . Sounds like I am okay then. We got one guy at work that hassled me after I passed my ccna for what was ezactilly on the test. Hell after 70+ questions I am going to remember exact questions right. I was just glad I passed. I told him he needed to study or take network essentials 1-4 to pass like me and another co-worker. I offered to loan him my class materials. He gave me a lecture on how Cisco ripping us off, and sent me up in our station overhead cable to pull cable (he was my shift lead at the time) when I refused to help him cheat. Oh well I believe in Karma

You did the right thing, that is exactly what the Cisco NDA is all about, not revealing the contents of the exam. Most of the cram sheets on the internet Crammsession, Examnotes and such are okay. Just look out for stuff that is question and answer verbatim.

I know exactly what you're going through. In addition to the 40+ hours per week that I have to work I've spent the past 8 months getting my Cisco Certs. For me it was more my manager pushing me to get my CCNP and CCDP than anything. But there are others out there doing the same thing as you.

I've found that the Boson practice exams were very helpful in preparing me for the types of questions I'd see on the exams. In addition, they also help identify any gaps or other areas you need to brush up on. Taking a good amount of practice exams, along with cramsessions and a review of good notes will sufficiently prepare you for any exam.

I can absolutely relate to your concern about working and studying for your certs. I'm in a sales position that requires that I work 50-60 hours a week, so that's leaving me very little time to study. Fortunately, I'm a part of a study group here at work that is good at keeping everyone on track and working toward our goal.

My question is, though...since I heard that many people felt that their study guides left out some important details, where do you feel that you are missing out? We are all using the Beachfront Quizzer study guides and some notes from one of our colleagues who worked at Cisco. Is there anything that we should be looking for that we won't find in a study guide? Thanks!!

the amount of information there is amazing.

what I usually like to do is study one notch above what is *needed* according to the book to ensure that I know the subject well... atleast relatively to the exam objective.

since you stated in your profile as working on ccna, with each major section noted by the book, look up the topic on the site. also check the internetworking technology handbook link at that site for the relavent topic.

for example, when the book is talking about ACL, looking through the site there are many links, one of it being
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/#acls
this will give you a better grasp than the simple configuration that is needed for ccna.

I am not sure what your background is, but for me, I have never worked in the telecom core so my biggest obstacle through some of my study was... OK. so the book teach me the commands, tell me its usage, but how does it really apply to the real world...
one example, a poster recently posted a question about isp, which prompted me to search for *isp* at cisco site, wow... 2nd link from the search, document directory, IOSessentialpdf.zip... brings a lot of the things into perspective... I am currently reading the security section... I wish I had read this before my remote access exam... AAA, command auditing... wheee!
another example, since I am in that section now... login banner/enable secret etc are all covered in ccna exam. take a look at that section in the pdf file I mentioned.
http://www.cisco.com/public/cons/is...sentialsPDF.zip
it will bring everything together and enhance your understanding.

I dunno, I did not always utilize this in my study... sometimes due to laziness, sometimes other contraint... but I want to stress that the information is out there in their site, its just whether you want to read beyond the simple need to pass the exam.
