Wireless Exams
Saturday, February 4th, 2006While I was studying for my CWNA exam, the CWNP has released its Wireless# exam a few months back. Wireless# is entry-level and prepares people for working on home networks and small office networks, as well as learning the basics about many wireless technologies.
Since I was very thorough with CWNA materials, without a second thought I attempted Practice Test for Wireless# to see how I would be doing. It was way too tough than I expected and ended up with a score of 73%. That’s a PASS but I believed that I should have scored more than that.
Then I had a comparisson between Wireless# and CWNA and came to know that some technologies in the Wireless# are not really covered in detail in the CWNA. These include Bluetooth, WiMAX, RFID, IrDA. If you’re looking to gain conceptual and decision making knowledge related to these technologies Wireless# is a great benefit.
Time to read about these technologies, did that for a week and attempted the Practice Test again and the score was very much better this time at 98%. So thought to attempt the real exam before the Beta period expires (31st Jan 2006), called up the local VUE testing centre to find out that the testing centre is going through upgrades of their testing software. Seems this will take 1-2 weeks for completion.
No choice, I registered for the Final Wireless# exam on 1st Feb 2005 and has scheduled to take the exam on Saturday 11 Feb 2006 if the testing centre is back in operation. If everything goes well am also planning to attempt my CWNA exam in February 2006.
Wish me best of luck.
