Jeff, you are making progress and learning. For every guy that makes it
the first or second time, there are the rest of us who are on the 3-6 try
plan!<G> I'm one. I failed my second attempt also.
Take a week off, maybe do some light reading, then jump back in. This is
as much about persistence, patience, determination and endurance as it is
about technical stuff. Maybe more!
Keep focusing on all the knowledge that you are accumalating and how
much more you know now then when you started! It may be hard but that is
really the point of the whole thing. When you pass, and you will, you will
know your stuff and feel confident with the title.
You'll do it, its just a matter of time.

Subject: Failure #2
> Just a couple of points shy of making it to day 2 in Halifax. Seems that
in the process of trying to do something fancy to make a 2 point problem
work I destroyed my OSPF, and this didn't become apparent until about
4:50pm. Don't let this happen to you...I actually finished the Day 1 binder
by 3:30pm. Got deducted for not so stupid details like missing passwords.
Lost about 5-8 points on stuff I legitimately didn't know enough about.
Much better than my first try, and although both proctors I had were very
helpful, the environment in Halifax is less formal than San Jose which is
more agreeable to me. The only thing I can see doing now is learning the
intricate details of the stuff I didn't know and taking it again. Something
that helped me do better this time after the first test was realizing that
the answers to most of the problems are very simple - maybe complicated in
theory, but simple in application. If you find yourself doing something
that takes a lot of config!
