| Hello all, This is more directed toward the folks in charge of the Certcities site. I was thinking of additions that could be added to the site and one that I think might be useful is voting on exams, the difficulty on them. I've seen a few articles on Certcities awhile back where you can rate how hard the CCNA is, and such. I'm talking about making a own section on the exams whether it's the 640-801, the 70-290, etc. A scale of 1-10 with 10 being very difficult. Just a suggestion. ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th. Any words of wisdom? Feel free to PM me with any advice! |

| Interestingly enough, I found my rating on the one review of the 640-801 that Certcities did. It is http://certcities.com/editorial/exams/story.asp?EditorialsID =77&page=38#post - here ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th. Any words of wisdom?

| So in other words, your suggestion was already in place and therefore no further action is needed. Certcities, I've explored and looked at other sites. Don't add crap like voting buttons, avatars and such junk. It adds no beneficial advantages to your site except to keep kiddies entertained.  I prefer (want) the facts and nothing but the facts. Let others speculate. ------------- MCSE/MCSA:Security|Messaging, MCDST, MCTS:Vista/Office 2007, MCITP:Vista Enterprise Support, A+, Network+, CCNP, CWSP, GCWN, GCUX, CISSP |

| I guess so, yes. I think it would be nice just so people can get an idea on what the average joe thinks of how difficult exams are. Maybe it wouldn't be a good idea because then Microsoft, Cisco, Citrix and the others might see an exam rated as too easy and then they will make it tougher. LOL.

| Exam difficulty is relative - it's different for each person based on his/her experience level. For a newbie, the CCNA might be a 10 difficulty. For me, it's a 2. Some people can't pass the A+ their third try; others can pass without studying. ------------- BosonMichael (formerly TMichael) MCSE+I, MCSE: Security, MCDST, MCDBA, OCP, CCNP, CCDP, CNE, SCSA, Security+, Linux+, Server+, Network+, A+ Served proudly, US Army, 98C Intelligence Analyst, '89-'92 |
