Having just passed yesterday in RTP (7331)- first try,
passing on Rack 5 on 5/5 :)(#7331) I'd 100% agree on
the troubleshooting.
Here were the keys, as I saw it:
- Know the theory behind /everything/ you do. Read as
well as crank on the hands on - it'll help to make
you adapt to the stuff you haven't seen before.
- MANAGE YOUR TIME. If you don't know a section -- pass
it by. Get the other points. Then, if you have time,
come back to it.
- READ the questions. Check you follow them /to the letter/.
Almost all the points I dropped on Day 1 were not because
I couldn't do something, not because I couldn't get it to
fly but because I missed a detail in the question that I
could have implemented.
- Go into it as if to a job. Don't let nerves kill you. Derek
Small sent me a key piece of advice -- we do this, for the
most part, because we like networking. Look at the problems
as challenges and live up to them. It is all acheiveable if
you think about it right.
- And expect troubleshooting to be brutal, even if you hit it
with a considerable cushion. I went in with a perfect Day 2
morning and a solid Day 1 and it was still not something I'd
care to repeat. I was sure I was going to fail there.
And I'll re-iterate. You can pass on the first try, as others
have said. Just be prepared. I was the only person from my group
to make it to Day 2, and I'm 100% sure others in that set were
killed not by any lack of knowledge or even preparation but by
nerves.
