Calling ALL CNAs , need your input and help

[GprophetB]

Scheduled my CNA for 5 P.M, been studying like crazy.

If you have passed a CNA cert can you give me some tips? (i heard you cannot go back to a question once you answered it already)

Or any other things to watch out for, im kinda nervous going into it (i wasnt expecting not to be) and just wanted a heads up before i take it

Also if you took the cert. what was your point total? And what background did you have at the time?

Thanks for ALL input on the matter.

I had 2 netware servers i my own NDS tree at home...studied on that for a few months plus classes. I read my CNA book thoroughly 2 or 3 times over. I took the CNA in Netware 5, and there were a good amount of ZenWorks questions. NDPS printing was a big one as well. I remember being alot of situation questions...like calculating the rights of a leaf objects based on group membership and what rights and IRFs were assigned higher up in the tree. I knew I was ready to take the test when I could read through my CNA book and nothing mentioned was unfamiliar or confusing to me. Its not a book exam at all...having 2 netware servers at home definitely me out...though you could surely get by with one server as well.

For me the CNA was a pretty tough exam, not as hard as the CCNA but still tough. I had no prior Novell experience, only what I learned in classes and taught myself the rest.
