It is frustating that students can't have access to the tools necessary to pass Cisco's own tests without resorting to non reputable means for obtaining them. But that's the only route, I guess.Thanks for all the attempts of helping with this issue.

+-i tried that already and get a message shown below...

Thanks for your reply. However, when I sign in and get to the download page I still get the lock next to each file and a legend affirming "contract required"Here I submit a printscreen for reference as to what I see.

I know about these areas, but Cisco is not necessarily allowing downloads with a regular user account before dumping a mountain of cash. I expect to exist an area for testing/practices towards exam preparation but I guess not.

Thanks for the reply. However, there is an issue whenfollowing the link to request a copy.
