I was in the pod in front of you and my jaw dropped when she handed you the
number at the end of the day. Your ability to refocus on day two after the
initial start was amazing.
I would have been fried sitting there for thirty minutes thinking about
everything and then in one instant they hand you a day two book and tell you
to get started. That was the ability to work under pressure.
Congratulations.

Subject: CCIE #8113 Important Point
I took the Lab on Wednesday and Thursday of last week in SJ, it was my
second
attempt. I want to thank my study partner Eric who has been such a huge help
to me. Also to Mike good luck next week. Thanks to Paul and the people on
the
list even though I'm mostly a lurker I got a ton out of it. I also have to
give credit to God for helping me make it through this one, I had seen other
people posting thanks to God and I thought "that's kind of hokey you're the
one that studied", but after my ordeal I have to say I know that God was
definitely an influence.
Important Point- Now on to the one piece of advice I have.
At the end of day one I felt pretty confident that I would go on to day two.
So I was surprised, angry, and depressed when I came in the next morning and
there was no day two book. Well I sat there sulking while Kathy went over
the
test with two of the candidates before me, then it was my turn. We started
going over my test, and as we talked about it I kept saying "I did that". So
to make a long story short we checked three things that I was told I'd
missed
and they were all there correctly in the configs. Kathy to her credit was
very
professional and actually willing to check to see if there was a mistake.
Any
way she gave me the points back and a day two book, and I went on to get my
number. So if you feel like you did something right go over it with the
proctor.
Good luck to all.
