31270 Networking Essentials Challenge Exam (1 Viewer)

Hey has anyone ever done one of these exams? I just wanted to know the structure of the exam? There apparently is a practical section and I have no idea what they're going to test us for the practical.

Hmm... I did Networking 1 (31467) a while ago- I'm not sure what the challenge exam is. Networking 1 was replaced by Networking Essentials (31270) in the beginning of the year though.

I know some people who did Networking Essentials last semester, I'll ask them and I'll let you know what they tell me =)

exam date: 27 july 2007 i think, or there abouts, which puts me at 2 weeks to study.

Ooh to get exempted =O

I have some Networking 1 notes (handwritten, but scanned) somewhere if you want them?

 

[MuffinMan]

cool awesome, um it says it's based on the CISCO syllabus so I'll just read them. I still don't know about the "practical" bit though.

Calculating the subnet masks are the hardest part; everything else is easy!

calculating subnet masks pisses me off.
especially when you are not allowed to use calculators.
