wrote the cwna exam and failed.i am very dissapointed.the latest version of bosons cwna(5.1)is of no help.studied the cwna official study guide 2002 version.Although i had thought that i knew the work,the questions in the test were extremely vague with alot of questions on fhss and site survey.whoever takes this test must bare in mind that you will not get any questions that you see in the book or the boson pt software.Most questions are three or two answer questions.OUT OF THE THREE ANSWER QUESTIONS TWO answers WOULD BE OBVIOUS but you would struggle to figure out the third as the word for a particular device or concept may be different to what the study guide has,so you would not be sure if you have chosen the correct answer.this is the same as the two answer questions.I am not going to give up though.I now need to get the latest book(version 2)to figure out why i had failed as i had honestly thought that i was doing well in the test.I think that the three question answers screwed me over.You must know site survey,security and fhss,dsss backwards.do not learn the obvious.INSTEAD OF THE MAXIMUM LIMITS TO ANYTHING,LEARN THE MINIMUM AND SO ON

If you don't mind me asking, what was your score?

I am also curious what your score was.

What is your experience/background with wireless technologies?

As far as I know, the Boson practice tests were not rated well for the CWNA. The Official Practice Exam from Planet3 will truly assist you. I feel that the Study Guide itself was sufficient, at least for the version of the exam I sat for.

As for vague questions...in hindsite (having taken V1 of the exam) I feel the questions were more tough than vague. This exam really tests your knowledge of all the objectives. Granted, it is VERY difficult to answer a question when you are not told how many of the given choices are correct. I think most of us here will agree to that.

Hang in there, regroup, focus on what you feel were your weak points and jump right back in there if you are able to sign up for the exam again soon.

Good luck.

I had a score of 62%.After looking at my study material yesterday.i realised that i concentrated too much on the main facts of the study guide but failed to sift through the work for important facts on wlan in between the lines.This i think was my downfall on the test.I am also not sure if the second edition study guide has updated information or if it is just a book that has eliminated errors on the previous edition.CAN ANYONE ANSWER THIS FOR ME
