Dear all,
It is my turn to get that (in)famous number.
After two, well, intersting days, I finally got through.
The Champaign is misting my mind, but I will try to some advices:
- most of the advices from newly CCIE in this group were VERY accurate,
so I will not repeat them (yeah, you must know OSPF and BGP...)
- when you read the question, always think that if it seems easy, then
most probably there is a trick. And read the question completely, as it
contains ALL the info you need.
In a general (and philosophical) way, be sure that if you see a question
that seems very obvious, there MUST be a trick. They try to make the
exam as difficult as possible, so there will not be any easy question
like redistribution w/o problem.
- if you know your stuff, you should have time enough. Yesterday, I
finished at 1430 (instead of 16300), and only lost 4 points. If you feel
that there is no time enough, it most probably means you were not
prepared enough.
- remember that the CCO "UniverCD" is also searching through the
warp/public, and these are not available in the lab....
- when you are are preparing the lab, always tell yourselves "what nasty
question could they ask about that protocol/technology?". The lab are
definitively NOT asking for the obvious, well documented features, but
always for the corner cases that are not properly documented;
- practice with 12.0 (x) SW. The lab is based on that SW, as described
in the official web site. There is NO NEED to use any other SW....
- be focused, and give you enough time/practise. It is definitively a
difficult exam, and you will need all your time/attention for it.
- this newsgroup definitively gave the "bloody edge" that helped me to
go through.
- finally, I would like to thank VERY MUCH the people who flamed me/did
not agree with me, as they forced me to go much more into details than I
though would be necessary, and forced me to learn some technology with
ALL details (Walter Chen, other I forgot....)
- last, but not least, CCIE is an exam that definitively worth the
investment. And the proctors ARE honest, and make your life more
difficult by checking you answered the written question, not what you
thought would be the question.
Have a good preparation,
Regards,
Michel
