I received my number today. I know it has been said before, but there is no
better feeling than reaching a goal this high. My lab was in San Jose
yesterday. The facility was great and the proctors were very professional. I
will be going back to San Jose for my security IE also simply for those 2
reasons. It is a further trip for me than it would be to RTP but this was
the date I took. My plan of action went as followed...I arrived the 25th
evening (my lab was on the 27th) to avoid any issues with flights or lack of
sleep. I studied some Wednesday and drove from my hotel to the lab facility
to verify directions. I tried to get to bed early for a good nights rest but
of course my nerves didn't help that. I got up early and left for the lab
and was in the parking lot of the lab by 7:00..yes this is way early but I
eliminated the traffic factor and brushed up on a few commands waiting for
7:40 to roll around. Lunch I had 1/2 a turkey sandwich, a bananna (similar
to what Tiger does on the 2nd 9 of Sunday), and a gatorade. Finished the lab
in plenty of time to double check stuff which is key. I used all of the
major players preparation
material..hellocomputers,ccbootcamp,ipexpert,netmaster..they all played a
huge roll in my success. all of the normal books, caslow, doyle 1 and 2,
halabi, solie...I think 2 books that should be added to the normal list is
the parkhurst bgp and ospf books...I would not have passed without these
books. They are to the point and a good read. One thing I can't emphasize
enough is spending time on the routers. Don't just go through the motions
and memorize configs from practice labs. Understand the concepts and develop
additional excersises on top that. Be precise on every config you practice.
Have a plan of attack when you get to the lab. Practice does not make
perfect...perfect practice makes perfect. Im going to take a break and get
back to normal life. Then on to security. Thanks to everyone for their help
and Paul for this list....
