Questions, Questions, Questions

There should be no doubt in your mind that you're facing a test full of specific and pointed questions. The version of the exam that you take is fixed-length. It includes 60 to 70 questions, and you're allotted 90 minutes to complete the exam. You cannot mark questions or go back to prior questions on the exam.

The exam questions will belong to one of three basic types:

• Multiple choice with a single answer

• Multiple choice with multiple answers

• Drag and drop, in which you drag items over their definitions or descriptions

• Simulations in which you type configuration commands to simulate using the Cisco IOS

You should always take the time to read a question at least twice before selecting an answer, and you should always look for an Exhibit button as you examine each question. Exhibits include graphics information related to a question. An exhibit is usually a screen capture of program output or GUI information that you must examine to analyze the question's contents and formulate an answer. The Exhibit button displays graphics and charts used to help explain a question, provide additional data, or illustrate page layout or program behavior.

Not every question has only one answer; many questions require multiple answers. Therefore, you should read each question carefully, determine how many answers are necessary or possible, and look for additional hints or instructions when selecting answers. Such instructions often appear in brackets immediately following the question itself (for multiple-answer questions).
