RE: Breaking NDA - where to draw the line

The point is, not everyone lives by the same moral code. What is completely acceptable by a sociopath is not acceptable by the norm.

I'm still curious if anyone has either been contacted by Cisco about this or known someone who has.

Agreed.

You should have a gut feeling as to what is allowed and what isnt.

I think this is one of those questions that can be answered by-

"If you have to think about it, then you shouldn't do it."

I don't see how there can be any grey areas on this. Don't reveal anything about the contents of the exam. If you were the recipient of questionable info, don't pass it on. Do the right thing here.

If it's public knowledge(blueprint), then no issues.

If you were to look through the archives, it's fairly easy to come up an accurate picture of what to expect from the lab. Vendors and test takers alike post information; such as test taking strategies and trends in labs (having more IGP / Frame-Relay complete). I don't see people on this list ever post exact examples of what their labs were like, but I wanted to raise the question of what is considered acceptable. Has anyone been contacted by Cisco and asked to stop being liberal with information or had a more stringent penalty applied to them?

I know the easy way out is to provide responses like, "If you study the right way, you'll be fine." However, I was provided with helpful information from those who had been through the process and I don't mind giving back. Could you guys give some feedback of where you think the line is and what might be considered gray?
