Post exam

I missed out on passing. I was close - but no cigar. I would say the exam tested my BGP more than I expected. The MPLS portion focussed on a couple of areas I did not expect. There was a reasonable amount on the ATM side of things which was a surprise to me. I am not sure if Cisco uses "adaptive" exam technology, but it sure feels like it (I am sure I stuffed up an early question and then got hammered on that technology).

The scores at the end of the exam were really useless as far as re-focussing my study. The sections on it were:
  • Technology
  • Basic Implementation and Configuration
  • Advanced configuration

It might as well have said theory, easy questions and hard questions.

Would have been nice if they split it up into maybe a few of the MPLS technologies, a few of the BGP topology types and then a catch all for the rest of BGP and MPLS.
