Yes, I`m 27 years old and I`ve been working with Cisco equipement since 5 years. I have my CCNP, CCDP, CSSP. So I have a good foundation. I decided to focus and do the certification in a short term I didn`t want to pass a year on that. I went negociating with my company and we agree that I will pass the exam before june... I knew that it was a big challenge and I started talking to training company (ex: When I spoke to Indy from Netmasterclass she said that it can take several month between NMC-1 and 2...) I didn`t found a company that said that it was possible to do the CCIE in 3 months. I`m not the type of guy who read a book and go pass a written exam (don`t have a huge memory) but I understand the stuff and do logic between different topics. I realized that the CCIE lab is base on that.
 
Keep working, and always try to understand the technologies.

Hi Everybody,

I did it!!! Yesterday was my first and last attempt! :-) It's been 3
intenses month. I started the hold process in January 2004. I started
reading books (R&S Bruce Caslow, Doyle...) I pass the written exam at
the end of February. After that I started my preparation for the lab.
I did the Netmasterclass (NMC-1) in March. It really give me a push.
Those guys really care about you passing the test (thanks to Val, Bruce,
Bob and Indy). Afterthat I did some lab at home (with the DoIT
workbook). I also tried the new mock lab from Netmasterclass (CheckIT)
it's a similation test, it's good!

For my final preparation, I decided to do the InternetworkExpert Mock
class at home (I did it 1 week ago). They really have good materials...
Thanks to Brian McGahan and Brian Dennis (good job).

The advise I can tell you is to read the complete exam (twice),
afterthat carefully read each requirements. Look at all the
possibilities and find the one that will fit with the rest of the exam
(look the overall). A phrase that I won't forget from Bruce Caslow
"Don`t fall in love with the first option" Do a small drawing for each
section to visualize the topology.

Good luck everybody!
