Subject: Thank you from CCIE 18450!
Yesterday @ RTP, I passed my R&S on my fourth attempt! :)
Resources used: Attended IPExpert 5 day R&S boot camp, IPExpert
Workbook/Proctor Guide, and GroupStudy
People to thank:
Scott Morris for not only teaching me technology, but not to over think
things (although the proctors still told me I was over-thinking
things twice!). Antonio Soares for being a good study partner the last
few weeks and showing me how important it is to know how to troubleshoot
things! And, of course, all the rest of you whom have answered my
questions!
Some strategies used:
- Read one section at a time. I did not read the whole exam. (I did
this in previous attempts, and caused me to lose focus on the task at hand).
- Did not redraw diagrams (same as above).
- Did not use colored pencils, since didn't redraw diagrams (they did
already have some there at RTP for use though).
- Performed verification of every task at the time I configured it
(instead of going back at the end to review each question). This slowed my
pace down, which I believe increased my accuracy. Only had ~40 minutes left
when I completed the last task.
I am not recommending that others use my strategy, but rather do what works
for you. Once you know the technologies inside and out, you really can just
go into the exam and be yourself.
Thanks,
Mike
