As my fried once told me, it's eight and a half by eleven... doesn't weigh
an ounce!
I too failed my first attempt due to
1) one legitimate issue
2) mostly being freaked out.
As a former Infantry Officer, it takes a bit for me to be freaked out!
<G> But I was freaked out nonetheless. So the above advice is a sound
one. It really is an experience that you won't readily forget! <G>
After my day one.. I came back to the hotel and was able to redo the ENTIRE
test in my home lab (telneted into my lab). As I was doing it, I said...
oops, forgot that line, oops, didn't think of that... etc. If I weren't
soo freaked out, I would have caught these and moved on.
One month later, I crushed it - for two reasons:
1) It was an easier scenerio - without a doubt
2) I wasn't freaked out by it.
Good luck to you all.
