I took the 4.1 Admin, and found it harder than I expected, although I 
work with NW 4.1. I bought the Big Red Self Test CBT and found it very 
helpful in preparing. The Update might be easier, as it just concentrates 
on the differences.

Don't you believe it!  I took the Update test a few weeks ago.  It has
been the hardest test I have taken so far (5 down, Service & Support +
Printing to go.)  It was mostly on Netware 4 which made it VERY hard
for me, mostly due to lack of experience with Netware 4.  It is also
equivalent to both 4.1 Admin and Adv Admin (if you take the update, you
can't take the other two.)  What I found most helpful were the HOWTOs
found at http://www.certify.com (the CNE Quizer people of Cyber Pass.)
These showed me a lot of what the performance based questions were going
to ask.  Once I got those down, things were fine.  However, there were
a LOT of questions about NDS time synch and other things that I didn't
have much information on.

This is not to say you shouldn't take it over the 4.1 Admin.  Both are
pretty hard, I am sure.  Heck, after the Update test, Networking Technologies
was a BREEZE!
