Folks:
I guess its my turn to write this e-mail to say that I
passed my CCIE R/S lab at RTP last Sat. with Alan as
my Day 1 proctor and Brian Stanford on my Day 2. Both
were fair. Didn't get much chance to talk to Alan, but
Brian seems to a real nice guy. He encouraged me all
thru my day 2. I felt it important as I know it very
well that proctor factor does play a role in this exam
because of the problems I had with my proctor on my
first attempt. This was my second attempt within
little over one month. Thanks to Melody at RTP for
giving me an earlier date.
Short Story:
I was done with my day 1 work by 11.30 and scored
perfect on Day 1 which gave me lot of confidence going
onto next day since I needed only 10 points to make it
to troubleshooting. Lost 3 points on Day 2 work which
I stll feel was a code issue. Went into
troubleshooting (wait is terrible when they inserts
faults!!) knowing that I am going to make it and it
might seems funny, but I was actually enjoying
troubleshooting. I was finally done fixing all faults
within one and a half hour. After about 20 minutes I
got that yellow sticky with my number on it and
man...I was so delighted to see it.
I won't go into the prep tips because they are already
there in the archives.
Again, everyone have their own way of doing things,
but I would suggest that before going in to take the
actual test make sure that you have a plan in your
mind and test it when you are practicing with
scenarios. This way you will feel comfortable when its
time to do it.
I would like to thank Paul for running this list which
really helped a lot preparing for this exam and
reminding of the topics that I needed to work on. Keep
it up Paul..You are great!
I would also like to thank all my family and friends
for supporting me thru this difficult journey.
Thanks all,
Vikas
