- Hi there! After reading the previous posting from a disgrunted prospect
- CNE, I can see why Novell wants you to buy their self-study books. I had
- a similar encounter where I was 5 points off from passing the 3.11 System
- Manager exam. DRAX Technologies says that their testing format proves
- their worth ... I say they do not. Plus, their methodology in the section
- analysis is real bogus: the precentage as stated is suppose to show you
- the number of probable questions you will get correct if all possible questions
- are asked in that particular section. Well, I passed the Networking
- Technologies but my section analysis showed a probable 60-65% in three
- sections. But, the System Exam results had a much better section analysis
- but failed it.

- If you want to be a CNE, I recommend you examine the economic and
- intellectual payoffs in achieving a CNE status. To some people, they're
- willing to pay $3000-4000 over a 12-month period to get a CNE. Of course,
- they were to get a payraise that would "make up" for it (in other words,
- they checked out the paybacks possibility beforehand).

- I agree that if your employer wants you to become a CNE, then they
- should show commitment towards your education (since they will probably get
- a payoff maybe in terms of marketing, etc.). However, if you want to or
- desire to become a CNE (for any reason), then you have to decide how
- you are going to fund your own education (try getting the employer to
- pay for it first, of course).
