How to take the Exam

Schedule it during a good time for you.
Not after work When you have time to prepare It is a difficult exam
33

Exam is typically:
56 questions 90 minutes 2 or 3 simulation questions (take no more than 10 minutes for each one) Leaves only about 1 minute per question! Use good time management. Know if you had the 3 simulation questions or not. Do not leave any questions unanswered! Cannot go back to a question Pencil and Paper Provided
34

Some questions include a combination of:
Topology Router and/or Switch outputs Router and/or Switch running-configs Scenario Question Answers
If there is more than one answer, boxes are used and the
number of correct answers is given. e.g. (Choose three)
35

Simulations
Limit your time Dont get frustrated if you cannot figure it out
Know your outputs

show ip eigrp topology Routing Table: Administrative distances Etc.
