Hi guys, I am planning on writting my test in June, since its paid I was going to sign up for a boot camp/training course for a week before writting it, I want to take it at Global Knowledge since in Ottawa I have free room and board for the week. One thing is that on their website they have a practice test and you need to do 80% to be able to take that course, I find this test pretty tough just to get yourself in the classroom. I decided to take it at a different place in Toronto but I thought i would post the address to this global knowledge test for you, please post yr toughts.. no open books. And its always good for us to get new practice questions! Hope you guys find it useful!

Dont bother going top the `if you are a new user click here` just put a bogus email and pick the ccna test, and see what you think!

The questions are alright, things it ask, you need to know. Asked some basic subnetting, some osi. none on cisco specific like CLI.

The test requirement is high becuz its a bootcamp. They prolly do not care to teach you basic subnetting, osi layer. In those few days, they will prolly concentrate on CLI and cisco specific topics rather than teach you the basic of osi layers, how many bits are used in 255.255.255.192 etc.

The test assumes you already know quite a bit about networking. The questions are certainly easier than you'll see on the real certification exam though. Took me under 5 minutes and only missed 1.

Not too bad - all stuff you need to know. Took me about 5 minutes and I passed easily.

Well thanks for your input guys, its nice to be able to compare how youre doing when ppl are facing the same questions. Honestly I still find it a lil tough, my highest is 70% so far but I am coming along great in the books so I am confident i'll be ok by the end of June, summer is usually the time I write my tests. Good luck everyone ! ppl don't be afraid to take 5 mins to do that 35 question test...Everything helps!!

It's fairly standard - about 32 questions good questions, 3 poor questions.

(28/35) = 80% is a passing score.

It focuses on OSI, addressing, and subnetting - very important exam topics.

I would expect the course to focus on CLI, ACLs, WAN, and Routing.

Thanks,
Ron

PS - I passed. I can take the bootcamp!

You missed 7 questions. Your score: 80%
You passed!
Congratulations Jombee! You qualify for our CCNA bootcamp

I mostly missed the subnetting questions I think but overall I think this is a good site

thanks for the pointer. This is a feel good test -- pretty easy, and nothing about Cisco, all pretty much IP addressing, subnetting and OSI layers, and a couple q's on switching. I did it in about 5 minutes. I got 89% on the first go. No post mortem or explanations, or telling you which ones you missed. I got an incorrect question, though, the famous how many hosts question. None of the options were the correct answer 2^n-2
I selected the closest-looking one: 2n-2.

Hi Marathon,

I agree. For studying, a practice test that identifies wrong answers, breaks them down by topic, and explains correct answers is more effective! Good tests contain few errors.

It seems ok as an assessment test, though, where 80% or higher is the passing score.

Thanks,
Ron
