We hereby petition Cisco Systems, Inc. to stop degradation and improve value of all it\'s Associate and Professional level certifications by introducing the following changes to certification creating process:
1. Gradually increase the pool of tested questions to five thousand for all certification exams
2. Increase the variation of answers, by swapping the IP addresses, ranges, masks, wildcards, etc.
We want certification exams to represent understanding of a topic by an individual, not the ability to memorize questions and answers.
Sincerely, the networking community.
Reaching this point has been a long road and the level of engagement is finally showing that we are not the only ones frustrated by the current state of these exams. It is exhausting to fight for a standard that matters but seeing this level of traction keeps me focused on the goal.

Just pass the exam the right way. If you need a dump to get a job maybe you should reconsider your career path.

Finally someone said it. The market is getting flooded with paper certs who dont know how to configure a simple vlan. Make the exams harder.
