## Encountered 2 New Questions: 1 Multiple-Choice, 1 Drag-and-Drop
1. Presented with an image of parameters in XML format; the task involved configuring `edit-config` to receive telemetry data regarding interface counters.

2. An engineer must produce a site-level health snapshot from a Cisco […] executive dashboard. The engineer must authenticate and query the “Network Health” resource using a token header and a millisecond timestamp query parameter. (There was a similar question where “site health” was swapped out, requiring the same drag-and-drop interaction.)

Given that we are currently in the era of AI-assisted programmatic collaboration—and since I happen to have some background in programming and automation—I chose to take the 300-435 exam. The exam focuses heavily on Python syntax, API fields, and HTTP request methods.
Fortunately, there were no hands-on labs; I wasn’t required to write a complete script from scratch.
This exam served as a certification renewal. There were a total of 61 questions; questions 1 and 40 were new to me—a rather daunting start right out of the gate. I scored 72% in the “Controller-Based” domain; I may need to cross-reference my answers against AI-generated solutions to verify their accuracy.
The 300-435 exam features numerous drag-and-drop questions, and multiple-choice questions with multiple correct answers account for more than half of the total items. None of the 119 questions from the old question bank appeared on this test; the exam content focused exclusively on the updated curriculum topics.
