Eugene,
"NEVER try to search CD"??? I hope you're not serious. If you've
prepared adequately you do have time to search the CD and also if you do
it intelligently. Example: you can do a search on a topic for one item
but then quickly move to another router to work on another aspect while
the search is working. I found searching the CD was actually rather
quick. And also take advantage of the time you have, while you're waiting
for the instructor to give you the test, locate and bookmark the key areas
that could be on the test. Example: you know they're going to have BGP
and you know BGP has a ton of options that you may know fairly well but
you may want a quick reference, I'm there in 2 seconds and can be to
"confederations" in another second.
And I agree partially that you shouldn't search the CD because you should
have worked with the CD extensively and know where the key areas are. I
can go right to the DDR section, BGP, VOIP, ATM, IPX, etc without
searching, most are only two clicks away. But sometimes you get a
question on the exam that you don't really know what they're looking for
so you have to do a search to figure it out.
Time management is a big factor but you do have time to search the CD if
you're familiar with the CD to begin with and you do it intelligently.

codes, regular expressions, or even a command or two. I'm definately not sayin
g to rely on the CD for the lab!!
