A couple of helpful hints I've heard kicked around from time to time:
- know how to get around the Documentation CD-ROM without using the
slow search engine, study it just like you would the technology items.
- have a game plan on your addressing. You don't know exactly how they'll
want you to address items but say use the third octet for you ipx network
numbers or use a combination of the routers. Say for a link between
routers three and four it would be ipx network 34. This is beneficial
come troubleshooting time and the proctor changing things around, it would
stand out more if it's changed.
- put everything you can possibly put on the network diagram as long as
you can still understand it. Use different colors for different items,
say ipx, appletalk, vpn's, etc. The network diagram is all you have to
rely on during the troubleshooting portion, with the exception of what you
can remember.
- And don't cram the day or two before the test, take some time off. If
you don't know it by then you're screwed anyway.
Anyway, these are some of the tidbits I've been collecting from the
list while getting ready for the exam in less than three weeks... my how
time flies...
