Cisco Adds Simulation Questions to 3 More Exams
6/6/2002 -- Late yesterday, Cisco announced via its Web site that the company has completely updated five of its professional-level certification exams, adding flash-based simulation questions to three.
Effective immediately, candidates for Cisco's CCNP, CCDP and CCIP titles can register only for the new versions of the following exams:

Although the new versions are effective immediately, those who have already registered to take the previous versions of the above exams will be allowed to do so if their testing date is within the next six weeks.
Cisco said that anyone working toward the above titles can combine 640-6xx and 640-5xx exams for their requirements.
Cisco introduced the Flash-based simulation questions in its CCNA exam in April. At that time, many candidates were upset by Cisco's lack of prior warning about the change. According to various reports, it appears that this time around Cisco e-mailed at least some candidates last week alerting them to the upcoming switch.

Hi Guys, you are all doing a good job! Keep it up! I do also agree, upgrade the exams before it gets like the MCSE, worthless! But a quick questions, in the BSCN 640-603 exam, do you get a let of questions where it says "Pick correct 2 answers" or "Pick correct 3 answers". Thanks, Ace |

hi everyone, Cisco has changed the exam version for CCNP but two papers SWITCHING(640-604) and SUPPORT (640-606) are not having simulations in their track, now my query is will the questions or pattern of questions be changed or not ? |

Hi, i did Routing (640-603) exam today. I pass. The exam had some tricky questions... You must know very well, redistribution, summarization and frame relay environment in ospf and eigrp. BGP questions are easy. The simulation was ospf configuration in a single area. The commands are very easy to discover in exibition commands. Good luck to all. |

Router Simulator is just a piece of cake. It's worth to get Router Simulator and reduce the number of questions. That'll be easier to us. I just took CCNP Remote Access (640-605) today and got it passed. There had been only one question coming with the simulator and it was ridiculously easy: configure frame relay on an interface, with NO DLCI, NO sub-interface needed. Morever, "?" works in case you don't remember something. Hey guys, let's celebrate the release of new exams! |

what is the noise about the change in the exam? Cisco should be updating their exams at least three times pey year. It will only keep the men from the boys; and the girls from the mama. |

Passed routing last week. Wasn't that bad. Lots of tricky questions though; Boson practice questions and cisco press should do it. Only one simulator, which was setting up ospf in a single area, one drag and drop, configuring summarization in eigrp. |

CIT Sims easy but Cisco test professionals off rocker with questions pick 3 out 4 ans. lots of what does command show...instead of what U do with them. |
