My first attempt was friday. I did not pass. Time was not that big of an
issue. I was done with an hour left to check things. Everything seemed to
work and I felt that I had at least followed the rules. But they must have
not of liked my solutions. The interesting thing is that the parts that
seemed the easist were where I did the worst. The part that kicked my butt I
did well in. I think part is that I got over confident on the easy parts and
did not pay enough attention to them. But part is also the ability to
interpret what they want for a solution. I don't feel experience is a big
help here. I have been doing networking for many years and have never seen
anything like what they put in front of me in the real world. I did give
them a solution that worked and was technically sound - but that for sure
was not enough. I have talked to several people that suggest a boot camp -
many of them are designed to build up your skills in interpreting the lab.
But I am on my own on this - no help from my company. I would really rather
not have to pay for a bootcamp.
So my question is what do you do - what do study and how do you study to
build up these skills.
