Hi all,

I just passed the exam today with 893. However, I'm still unsure if I would failed the exam when I pressed the finish button.

As others, the test is quite annoying as the case-studies questions spreading everwhere during the exam. You need to go through the long descriptions over and over again.

I have *not* draft the whole case-studies stuffs on paper during the exam, and personally I do not recommended it if you are moderate-speed reader. BTW, only less than 1/3 of the information are related to the questions.

I've 55 mins remaining when finished. Maybe my timing is very bad, and I will recommended to devise(and follow) a plan about time allocation before going into the exam(e.g. # of minutes/question, checkpoints at each 20Qs, etc.).

Material used(I have read page by page):
- Sybex(80%)
- DCN(65%)
- CCDA Exam Guide(30%)
- TDND(30%)

Actually I have proof-read all the materials, and I choose Sybex to read more because it is, hmm, less in pages. I must say that the other books are good prepared for the exam.

I used about 50 hours to prepare for the exam, and this is the 3rd toughest exams I've ever encountered.(they are MS SMS and Exchange 5. There's no dump/exam software available as I take it a few days after it go lives.)

Anyway, I wishes all of you good luck, and have a nice day !

Best Wishes,
Wan

Congratulations, nice score. I am scheduled to take the CCDA on Monday. Were the scenarios real long? You mention that you chose not to outline the scenarios and I see that worked out for you. anything you care to add?

Hi Lan,

The exam format is standard to other exams.
If you have try MS IIS4 I guess you should have no problem.

however, you can *not* go back(nor marked) to the answered questions.

The scenarios is annoying, as stated before, I won't recommended you to read and drop all the details.

It will be great to carefully read the questions and answers provided, and then match the answers by proof-reading the exhibit. I guess you will catch my meaning during the exam.

May the force be with thou,
Wan
