Joe,
When I passed the exam I finished around 2:30pm the first day and 1/2hour
early the second day. I type about 35-45 wpm. I think this has very little
to do with my finishing early. My best advice is to know what will
absolutely, positively be on the test. For example, you know that ATM will
be on the test. Vlans will be on the test. Frame will be on the test.
Make sure that you can configure those and get your times down.
In my practice labs I got my frame cloud configuration times down to 2
minutes from 10 minutes. This saved me a lot of time. Praacticing the core
tecnologies and getting those times down made the difference. It gave me
time to look those things that I was not familiar with. Hope this helps.

You can use the send command on you terminal server to send your command
list to your TTY lines. Save loads of time.

For those that finished with an hour or so to spare, do you mind posting
what your estimated typing speed is? I know it sounds funny, but I work
with someone who can type 120 words a minute and it seems to make all
the
difference in a tight time situation like the lab.
Thanks in advance,
-Joe

O.k. I sat the exam last week and failed but by not a lot. Silly
mistakes
killed me. For those of you who have still to experience the one day
lab
then please read ahead.
Mostly everyone on this list stated that there was no time to do the lab
or
check anything. I found this to be so untrue it was unreal. Most
people on
the lab finished with an hour to go and I had more time than this to
check
and try to get the annoying things that didn't work to work (although I
failed to get two things working)... So from that, my advice is if you
are
stuck on something, move on and work your way through the workbook.
Once
you get to the end you should have plenty time to fix (if you can) the
problems you left.
>From my experience of Brussels everything was there. The proctors
turned up
when they should, answered any questions you asked, there were icons for
each element you had to configure, there was paper, there were pens,
pencils, sharpeners and erasers. Lunch was horrible although I don't
think
anyone was to bothered about lunch, so if you are a person who cannot go
without lunch bring a packed lunch with you (just don't put your answers
in
your lunch box !!).
All in all enjoy the experience and READ the questions (even the
smallest
detail). I am resetting in Feb next year and I reckon the pressure will
really be on then. Most people fail 1st time anyway is what I can say
this
time but next time ??
