Tips For Taking Your Ccnp Exam

The CCNP Routing test contains about 0 questions to be completed in about 75 Minutes. However, understand that your test may vary. Many questions on the exam have answer choices that at first glance look identical—especially the syntax questions! Remember to read through the choices carefully because “close doesn’t cut it.” If you put commands in the wrong order or forget one measly character, you’ll get the question wrong. So, to practice, do the hands-on exercises at the end of the chapters over and over again until they feel natural to you. Unlike Microsoft or Novel) tests, the exam has answer choices that are really similar in syntax—although some syntax is dead wrong, it is usually just subtly wrong. Some other syntax choices may be right, but they’re shown in the wrong order. Cisco does split hairs, and it is not at all averse to giving you classic trick questions.

This item looks correct because most people refer to the port number (23) and think, “Yes, that’s the port used for Telnet.” The catch is that you can’t filter IP on port numbers (only TCP and UDP). Another indicator is the use of an extended access list number but no destination address or “any” for the destination.

Also, never forget that the right answer is the Cisco answer. In many cases, more than one appropriate answer is presented, but the correct answer is the one that Cisco recommends.

Here are some general tips for exam success:

• Arrive early at the exam center, so you can relax and review your study materials.
• Read the questions carefully. Don’t just jump to conclus½ns. Make sure that you’re clear about exactly what eAch question asks.
• Don’t leave any questions unanswered. They count against you.
• When answering multiple-choice questions that you’re not sure about, use a process of elimination to get rid of the obviously incorrect answers first. Doing this greatly improves your odds if you need to make an educated guess.
• As of this writing, the written exams still allow you to move forward and backward. However, it is best to always check the Cisco Web site before taking any exam to get the most up-to-date information.

After you complete an exam, you’ll get immediate, online notification of your pass or fail status, a printed Examination Score Report that indicates your pass or fail status, and your exam results by section. (The test administrator will give you the printed score report.) Test scores are automatically forwarded to Cisco within five working days after you take the test, so you don’t need to send your score to them. If you pass the exam, you’ll receive confirmation from Cisco, typically within two to four weeks.
