Chuck,
On my second attempt I ran into the same issue as yourself. I ran out of
time both days and could not double check my work. Since I fat finger all
the time this was an issue and caused me to miss the # by a 5 points. For my
3rd try I worked on the few area's I felt weak in and concentrated on speed
in configuring BGP, DLSW, route-maps, IPX, and ACL's. These area's in my
opinion take a lot more time to configure. Especially the trillion commands
to set up IPX EIGRP and NLSP or IPXWAN.. Anyway since these were the slow
area's and my weak points it helped so much working on them and getting
faster that I finished day 1 my 3rd time at 2:00 and was able to double and
triple check my work. This helped me do extremely well my first day which
carries into day 2. Day 2 first half was the same thing allot of time left
to be able to check and find issues.
If I could recommend one thing to every person on the list is know the
basics cold and work on speed so you have time to fix the little things
because they will be the ones that get you....

Subject: 2nd try in RTP. Still no :(
All,
Well, once again, I didn't make it to day 2. Missed by a couple of
points. This attempt pissed me off much more than the first attempt in
January. Back then, I didn't have much experience with ISDN and bridging.
Over the last 3 months I've hit the bootcamp labs pretty hard and picked up
a study partner. I felt really relaxed going into day 1. Looking through
my book, there was really only 1 section (a 3 pointer) that I hadn't played
with a lot in the labs. I needed the CD only once, and found my answer in a
couple minutes. What killed me was time. I felt I was moving along pretty
quickly, but the time just flew by. By 4:30 I was working on my last
section, but I neglected to save time to double check my work. BIG Mistake!
As you know, each section has a few requirements. On a couple sections I
didn't test to make sure my solution work, as I planned on doing all final
verification at the end. I blew 3 sections on stupid stuff like this. The
next day after it was too late, I had these 3 sections working in less than
20 minutes. If I can offer any advice to others (and myself), it's save an
hour at the end to verify everything. It's better to leave one thing at the
end unfinished rather than blow 9 or 12 points on stupid stuff. My other
advice is to do the CCBootcamp labs. They are real close to the lab. I
only hope than Marc is working on a new set with the necessary changes.
Best of luck to those taking it soon. I'm planning on trying again in
August/September after hopefully going through ECP1.

P.S. If there's anyone looking for a study partner in the NYC area, contact
me. I'm currently studying with fellow list member Boris "the Ragin'
Episcopalian" Baeta. A third person would be cool, especially if your real
good with BGP!!!
