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).
