I find "new format" ridiculous. Took the exam twice in Sydney and I was given
the whole set of day 1 paper. What happen if u can finish the first part
quickly ?? Sit there and wait for the proctor to issue the 2nd part of the exam
in the afternoon ? I think u can raise this up or check with Cisco.

Good Luck
