Since then i’ve been busy with this shit or that , so i couldn’t post about it for all this time.Let me do a quick review of what i thought about the exam..

  • The questions were’nt as TECHNICAL as i would have liked them to be?! After taking CISCO exams, i’m used to the questions being more pointed. Here the questions were more implementation based ( which i loved in a certain way ) which made them sorta tough for me.
  • There was definitely some stress on 802.11N which i liked ‘coz i’d gone through those topics thoroughly.
  • The exam was for 2 hours, so i’d plenty of time to think on each question. (Which i highly recommend!) .
  • Even if you think you know the answer, spend 10 seconds reading through all the other options just to be sure. ( especially when it comes to questions with many answers ).
  • Another good part is that in the questions with multiple answers , they clearly mention how many answers they are expecting, which helps you in being decisive about your answers and eliminates a lot of errors.

Final word, STAY CALM and go with your gut..:)

Cheers ALL!

I just completed taking down notes for the WLAN troubleshooting chapter. You can find it here.

Warning : It’s a bit more detailed, than my previous one. Just because this chapter was huge and there were a lot of points to cover.

Let me know how you find it! :)

Cheers!
