Well I guess it's time for my story. I finally passed
at RTP yesterday after a couple of failed attempts. I
was very calm on Day 1 since I had been there several
times already. One guy quit after lunch and left. I
thought I did really well on Day 1 and felt good going
into Day 2. Another guy didn't bother showing up on
Day 2. That left 3 of us. One lady didn't make it to
Day 2 so that left 2 of us. Day 2 was tougher than
Day 1 to me. During lunch I was going crazy with the
waite to find out if I made it to Troubleshooting. I
did along with the other guy. Then it took over an
hour for the Proctor to mess with my configs. That
was very hard sitting in the lobby waiting. Finally
Troubleshooting....Troubleshooting turned out to be
very difficult unlike what most people think. You get
3 hours to complete Troubleshooting...with 10 minutes
to guy I hadn't found any more problems for about 20
minutes and pretty much gave up on finding more. The
Proctor came by and told me when he passed he found 5
problems in the last 5 minutes after not finding any
for 40 minutes. So I looked a little longer and found
3 problems. Now the hard part....It took 40 minutes
for him to grade it. My Proctor strung me along
pretty good before finally showing my that little
yellow sticky with my number on it. I had 2 Proctors
on the weekend and both were fantastic.
