I fond the NetApp exams to be probably some of the best in regards to the following:

1) They do not ask questions that are on notes in the training materials. 2) The questions are all on relavent information that is contained in the training materials 3) There are 5 questions related to experience in working with the Filer This is done to help eliminate the 'paper' certifications. 4) On the above experience questions should not cause you to fail if you have studied the training material. 5) After any of the exams I've been able to go to the training material and find the answer rather easily. From other vendors, I am still looking for answers to.

Good Luck on the Exams.

I also hear that NetApp is changing the Certification Process yet again.

Some time ago I have passed exams required for NetApp Certified Professional certification. Unfortunately NetApp does not permit for any upgrades to new path and I have to pass new exams from scratch. Can anyone share with me some experience from new exams (I am not asking about explicit questions or other secret stuff)? My past experience was not very good:

1. due small number of questions (30 per exam) it is not so difficult to fail exam by simple mistake or obscure question

2. I have found several question that (without aby doubts) could not be answered without additional data

AFAIK problem no 1 is still valid...
