Just passed CCIE (#9244).
Took the exam on Monday in Halifax. By the time I checked the web (9.30 am)
on Tuesday the result was already posted.So they do not hang about when
marking the exam.
The proctor, Mike Reid was excellent. If you ask a question in a way that
indicates you understand completely the issue, then they will respond
accordingly.
My advice to all is to join a study group......doing it on your own is very
tough.
Good Luck To All - It is a great learning experience.........
