Group,
I would like to thank all of you for your wonderful input on this list. I
have mostly sat it the shadows, but I have enjoyed reading many of the posts
on this list.
I sat for my fourth attempt Friday at RTP. I had previously read all of the
usual books and was relying on self study to get me through. After 3
unsuccessful attempts I realized that I needed something else in order to
get the edge necessary to pass. I found out about CyscoExpert from this
list. I went there understanding the core technologies, but lacking the
ability to "tweak" things as required by the lab exam. I spent 5 days with
the crew a week before my test. They were more than helpful and even
answered last minute questions for me the night before the exam. I left
feeling more confident than ever before about taking the lab. I was really
excited Friday when I read over my exam and instantly knew how to do 90-95%
of the topics. I was able to finish the exam just after lunch and had about
3 hours to double and triple check my configs. I strongly suggest going
back over everything even if you are sure that you did it right the first
time. I found about 6-8 points on my third pass that I would have bet were
100% correct the first time. CyscoExpert gave me the edge to feel confident
and to know what to look for when checking over my final configs. Without
those guys I would not have made it. I would also like to thank Mervyn, who
I met while training at CyscoExpert. We went over lots of configs together
before the exam and he really helped me pick out some things that I
misunderstood.
Again, thanks to everyone and good luck on your exam.
