Too late, sorry. Every man and his dog has downloaded PASS4SURE and
memorised the answers to pass the exams. You can do this once every
three years, no problem.
Sure, those candidates will be absolutely useless, but that doesn't stop
the dilution of CCNA/CCNP certs in the market.
What will it do? It'll make the CCIE more important. What have Cisco
done about it? Oh, they released a more prestigious, more expensive
cert, didn't they? :)
