Kumar,
Advice: When you driving do not think of Cisco
commands. I am not surprised you failed your driving
test :-)
Dave, Keep going on man. By taking the exam you
already put yourself at the high levels of cisco.
Just try to take it next month. Keep checking for a
seat everyhour and you will find one Do not wait too
long.
