Taufik -
Excellent, on the goal setting! I commend you for your enthusiasm.
Keep it going! I cannot give you the "silver bullet" on passing the
exam on the first attempt, because I have not....and just failed my
third attempt 2 days ago (I'm in recovery :-)). However, the advice I
do have for you is to completely surround yourself in the technology.
Learn it backward and forward. Know the DocCD backward and forward.
Don't just learn how to configure something by memorization of
commands.....research the technologies and really understand HOW they
work, WHAT they do, and, what they won't do. Then, know how to do it in
the lab....again....backwards and forwards.
Be prepared to spend LOTS of time in your lab (that is great that you
have it). And, Study, study, study.
Most of all.....DON'T be discouraged if you don't hit the first try
(very few have). I have numerous degrees, and I can safely say...this
is the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life.... and, didn't
realize just how hard it was until I started down this road. But, be
encouraged....you will get it if you continue to pursue it, and, never,
never, never give up (I am speaking to myself also). ;-)
