Well I finally made it. I won't take up too much time, I know everyone is
intently looking for that secret to passing the test. Well the secret is
there is no secret. It is all of the things everyone on this page has been
talking about. A lot of hard work, practice and experience. The books like
Caslow, Halabi, Doyle, and to a lesser extent CCIE Study guide. The ECP1
class was awesome thanks Fred.
If the old saying you learn more from your mistakes than you will ever
learn from your successes is true, then I feel I have learned more through
this experience than anything in my career, I failed four times before I
passed, so I had plenty of opportunity to learn from my mistakes.
Some lessons learned: Hang in there it is possible, I am living proof.
Learn to relax when taking the test, whatever technique works for you. If
you feel yourself getting stressed stop get up and take a 2 minute
breather, two minutes is not going to make or break you. If you feel the
temptation to start typing the minute you start your exam resist. At the
beginning you do not know what the network is going to look like. So take
the time to find out; completely read the test, draw it out as completely
as possible.
You should plan on finishing the test early if you want to pass. Because
you need the extra time to avoid another important mistake, and that is to
check your work completely then check it completely again. Jose and Cathy
in San Jose were very professional, and they run an amazing operation.
Finally I want to thank my wife I would have never done this without her.
She never wavered in her confidence of me, or tried to discourage me from
fighting on. Time to have some fun.
