(WST)<br>><br>>Oh wow. Just totally wow. This is the best high. :)
Passed my second lab<br>>attempt in Sydney today. Got the email under two
hours after leaving<br>>Cisco.<br>><br>>Thanks and shouts
to:<br>>- The Brians. The IEWB is a great resource.<br>>-
CertificationZone. Very concise tutorials on CCIE topics and great<br>>
starting points for studying a topic in depth.<br>>- Marc vH. Thanks for
the inspiration.<br>>- Greenday, Jimmy Eat World and Bowling For Soup.
Punk rock is the only<br>> way to study. :)<br>><br>>Suggestions
for people going through this:<br>>- Fail it once - this will ensure
you're calm and know how to focus the<br>> second time.<br>>- Focus
on the core stuff. Frame, switching, IGP, ISDN make up around<br>>
*half* of your points. While DLSW or 802.1x may be unknowns, don't
spend<br>> all your time fixing niggly configs.<br>>- On the
flipside, ensure you complete *everything*. Re-read every<br>>
question. Make sure you don't miss a single sentence within a
question.<br>> Once you've finished, go through the labbook again,
reading all your<br>> configs. I found many typos and logic flaws on
this second run.<br>>- Talk to the proctor. The questions are written by
somebody who's first<br>> language isn't English, and they can be a bit
difficult to understand<br>> without some clarification.<br>>- Cisco
aren't kidding when they say bring a jacket. Its not an office<br>>
environment, its a computer room with desks in it. I'm going to be<br>>
sniffly for a few days because I just wore a Tshirt (but I don't
care!<br>> Yay
CCIE!).<br>><br>>Rgds,<br>><br>><br>><br>>-
