One suggestion I have is to consider whether you properly interpreted
the specific requirements for each of the lab questions. If you
misinterpret the question you will obviously miss the correct answer.
Also, since you were unable to double check your work it is possible
that you made a number of small mistakes that cost you points.
There are many people who clearly know the technology but have yet to
pass the exam.
The two lessons I have learned from failure are:
1/
If you have any doubt about the intent of a particular lab question, ask
the proctors for clarification.
2/
You MUST learn to manage time and be prepared to abandon points in one
area in order to free up time to gain points in another. This includes
remembering to set aside 60 minutes for your final review.

Subject: 2nd RTP attempt
Everyone,
I wanted to give everyone a heads up. I failed my second attempt at RTP
last
week.
I must admit that I am a little shocked at my score this time. It seems
to me
that I should have gotten a higher score. I went into the test very
optimistic since I had done the necessary prep work. I practiced on a
variety
of different labs (ipexpert, ccbootcamp, shrike, and routopia). I got to
point that I would add extra scenarios to predict specific technologies
that
would show up on the lab.
When I received the actual test I felt totally optimistic because there
were
things on there that I knew I practiced. I breezed through those topics
effortlessly. I got tripped up on a technology that I have about 11
years
real world experience and I know with my eyes closed. I did not use the
doc
CD since I knew the answers from my lab practice. I spent entirely too
much
time on it and hence it took away from going over the exam. What
troubles me
is that my score did not reflect those topics I know I aced.
Here is what I learned from this attempt. This test is about knowing the
technology, but it is also about the mental indurance necessary to pass.
I
believed that I was a little burnt out from all the hours I spent
studying as
well as doing my job.
My next attempt will be a successful one.
Regards
Bryan
