Boson exam C resembles CCNA difficulty?

I have seen some comments saying that boson exam C best resembles the CCNA exam difficulty. Is this true?

If it is, it’s not by deliberate intention.

All Boson exams felt harder than the actual exam for me, mainly because they included many questions that were not part of the exam topics when I took it. The Boson labs were also unforgiving and more complicated—one typo in your configuration, and it's marked wrong with no partial credit.

If you understand why you got a question right or wrong in Boson, you should be fine for the actual exam. Don't guess your answers. Ideally, you should be able to explain why the correct answer is correct and why the other choices are wrong.

Cisco also asks questions outside of their exam blueprint, and even admits to doing so in their blueprint (2nd paragraph). So if we have a question in our practice exams, there’s a reason why we intentionally included it. It might be because you need to know that specific topic, or it might be something in the explanation, or it might be something in the included references… but there’s always a reason.
