I'm assuming since you are staying so close you are at one of the hotels
near the intersection of Great America Parkway and Tasman drive.

If this is true just head up Tasman for about a mile through a 3-5 lights
until you come to Champion Drive. Turn right onto Champion then immediately
left in the parking lot and head towards the Building C. The building is
only 100 yds from the Champion light.

The campus is a bunch of small three story buildings that look alike.

Make sure you get there 20 minutes before your test time. The proctors
retrieve everybody from the lobby and if you miss them you must wait until
after they have briefed everyone else before they will come out a get you.
This equates to precious lost time. Been there, done that!

Drive by the night before if you have a car. It shouldn't take more than 15
minutes round trip.

My favorite pretest nerve calming exercise is to watch all the candidates in
the lobby and see if you can determine who is on their first attempt and who
is returning. The candidates with the deer in the headlights look are
usually on their first try.

One tip. Keep and eye on time and about 5 minutes before the lunch break
read over an upcoming section so you can work out a possible solution while
you eat.

Go in confident knowing you can pass. I don't think I've ever heard anyone
say the test wasn't doable after they attempted it. Keep you head together
and ask the proctors appropriate questions and you will have a good shot at
passing. The exam is a challenge and you should approach it as such. It is
stressful, but it is also fun.

Good luck and let us know how you do.

Subject: Help -- Need Your Cisco San Jose Experience

Anyone with San Jose Experience

I am going to San Jose to take the CCIE lab next Monday. I would like to
arrive at the correct place. I'm staying at a hotel about a mile away. My
questions are the following:

What building should I go to or does Cisco have only one building?

What time do you suggest arriving?

Is Cisco open on Sunday for a visit?

Any other information based on your experience in getting there would be
appreciated.
