Hi, Richard
Do you remember me? I am the Chinese guy who talked to you on your day two
which is my day one.
Actually, I saw your beautiful wife with you at Lobby that day morning in
Radisson Hotel.
I register the same day May9/10 in Halifax, but I really want to give it try
next month if
somebody want to switch day with me. My problem is little bit different with
your,
I stuck in one 3 point question for over three hours. That caused me didn't
have enough
time to double check some stuff I know very well. I used about one hour to
read lab twice
and drawing the diagram, finished about 80% configuration before the lunch.
Then you know
3 and half hours for 3 points question. The reason I didn't want to give up
this question
is because I did this in my home lab before, just very strange thing
happened in the Lab.
When I realized that I spent too much time on it, it already 45 minutes
before the end.
I failed on my first try.

Wise using your lab time !!!

Best Regards

wayne

Well, just got back from sunny Halifax for my first attempt. Bad news is =
i didnt pass, but after what i went through on the first day, i was =
happy to make it to the second. Out of 5 of us there, 3 made it to day =
2, and none made it to troubleshooting. What got me was not reading the =
questions cleealy enough, and alot of stupid mistakes. I left from the =
first day thinking i might have a chance at the second, but thorugh that =
night more and more stuff hit my mind that I had forgotten to do, and I =
finally determined that I probably didnt have enough points to get to =
the second day, but I guess I had. I got booted before troubleshooting =
though, and like I said, all very stupid mistakes. My advice is to try =
and eliminate all mental errors and you should be set very well. BTW =
Halifax is a very nice city, and the people there are very friendly. I =
took my wife which I think is what kept me from going completely insane, =
she helped alot to keep my mind off of the exam, and helped make me feel =
somewhat better about not passing on the first time out. Anyways, next =
attempt is May 8/9 in Halifax unless I can get one a bit sooner =
hopefully.

P.S.

Anyone out there still waiting for their first try, dont put too much =
pressure on yourself, the pressure is what really killed me and i may =
have had a shot if I wasnt worried about puking the whole time.
