Third Time is a Charm.
I passed Friday in RTP after a grueling two days. Even on the third try it
was no less pressure. Alan was a great proctor, and very fair. As long as
you get his humor, He is a really good person to sit the lab with. At the
very end it was actually fun.
This has been quite an adventure, and I consider myself a far better
engineer after this experience. I couldn't have done it without the help and
support of a lot of friends, family, and most importantly my understanding
wife. I passed the written a few days before our wedding last summer, and
have since been studying A LOT. Thanks especially to "FTP" for getting me
through this.
This is definitely an achievable goal, but not for the weak. You have to be
dedicated to join this elite group. Anyone who just thinks they will give it
a try is wasting their time. You either go all the way, or you don't get
your number. I tried the first two attempts before (what I consider now)
thoroughly studying all the material. I thought I might be ready on the
second attempt, but I didn't have the depth of knowledge that it took.
Practice, practice, practice, and study everything you can get your hands
on. I can't say enough for hands on experience and lab scenarios on the
equipment. If you aren't ready for it, wait. You know when you're a CCIE,
and then its just a matter of keeping your cool in the lab to prove it. THEN
they give you that magic number.
Good luck to all that are coming after, and thanks to all that have come
before. It's an honor to be a part of this group.
