I attended their classes on site because I live in the Chicago area. At the
time I enrolled they also offered day and evening classes. I'm not sure if
they offer that schedule presently, or they are strictly bootcamp schedule.

Group,

My turn, thank God. I passed on my second attempt in
RTP last Saturday. Here are some suggestions that helped
me through this time.

In your studies concentrate on your weak points, because they
will show up on the lab.

Know where to find things on the CD. You can't memorize
everything. Things go well if you can find the info quickly.

It is key to understand what they are looking for in a requirement.
Read it over several times and imagine several ways to meet the
requirement. Then eliminate the ones that are not what they are
looking for. When in doubt ask the proctor.

Time. After my first attempt I knew that I could finish the lab
in the prescribed time period. Therefore I did not rush this time.
I took plenty of breaks and read each requirement thoroughly.

I visited the lab the day before my test to speak with the proctor.
I spent about 20 minutes asking questions about rumors on how
the labs are graded. They dispelled a lot of B.S. I has heard.

Special thanks to the CCIEs at CyscoExpert. Brian McGahan for
his great practice labs and Berham Chaboki for his insight and
philosophy. If you need help in getting over the hump, these are
the guys to go to.

In Berham's words, " Piece of cake. One, two lines of configuration, done
deal. "

Thanks to Paul and everyone on the list for your help also.
