【IT.com.cn武汉报道】继增加10分钟的口语考试后,昨日,思科向所有已预定考试的考生发出信函:考前交纳预定位置费用的时间由28天提前到90天。新规则从2008年9月6日开始执行。这无疑打乱了国内很多考生的备考计划。
原定于2009年1月份考试的蔡同学,现在正在武汉某思科培训中心学习。在提及考试费时,他显得很无奈。脱产学习之后,他不愿向家里张口要钱,原本打算在学习期间靠兼职来积攒考试费用的计划也被打破,按照思科的新政策,他一个月之后必须交出上万的考试费,这让处于奋斗中的他很是为难。
据武汉誉天IT教育集团的张老师介绍,思科于8月29日便已发文,更改其交费规则。
具体交费规定更改和对策大致如下:
1、90天以外的CCIE LAB位置,到考前90天不交钱,思科系统会以放弃该CCIE LAB位置处理。应对之策:建议大家一定有充分的把握后再交钱,最好为考前50-60天,如果变题也没关系,认命;准备第二次。
2、90天以内的CCIE LAB考试位置,思科系统不会丢在2008.12.3号以前的位置。大家应该是这种情况常见。应对之策:于考前28天交钱,否则思科系统会丢位置。这样也可有效地规避变题风险。
至于思科为何要求提前付款,誉天的吴老师表示主要是以下两点:
第一是防止考生刷位置;
第二就是提前之后,考生须快速决定何时交费,防止某些考生可能因为学习困难不考了。
武汉艾迪飞CCIE实验室的蔡老师则认为,此政策的出台,主要是为了制止占座现象。在大陆有很多人提前占了座,但考前又放弃不考,而是到转卖给别人的现象。一个位子卖得高的,甚至可以卖到3000多元一位!现在提前缴款,交了钱位子就和姓名绑定,不能再换!
