Jennifer,
Correct, there is no way they could cover everything in IOS, unless they
reduced it to a crossword puzzle, where you had to know what each acronym
stood for. When I took the NMC-1 class, they broke the lab down into
levels, where the level 1 topics where things you'd always see like OSPF,
frame relay, etc. Layer 2 where things you'd see also, but had a lesser
point value, which at the time was considered IPX, BGP,etc. Down in layer 3
was where I think we were told you'd see maybe 4 or 5 of these topics -
DLSW, multicast, QOS, voice,etc. Of course things have changed in the last
year since I took the course/lab, but if anyone's taken the course recently,
maybe they've got the current level breakdown that Bruce and Val recommend.
At the time, they were pretty accurate for my preparation.
