Anthony,
You're in for a rude awakening. The new written which I also had to re-take
near the end of last year is 10 times harder than the one I took originally.
I passed it but with the lowest passing score possible.
Now, I think Cisco is updating that exam again and, if so, I have no idea
what that will be like. But, if it's anything like the one I took, be
prepared to relearn a bunch of old stuff like token ring rif and source
route bridging and a bunch of new stuff like mpls.
For the life of me, I have no clue why mpls would appear on a R & S written,
but I don't make the rules.
HTH, Tim
