Hi

I recently sat the ccie lab exam and failed. I felt confident after departing the exam, and I felt that I had a good crack at it.

Unfortunately this was not enough to pass. To some extent its easier to fail and to know you failed , then you know where to improve. But when you leave confident , reflection on the exam sometimes does not yield too much..

I was thinking of what to do now..... I defiantly will attempt the exam until I pass, but what to do to improve is somewhat of a mystery.

Two schools of thought are , do more and more practice labs, and the second is to isolate study to the areas lacking in experience/knowledge as reflected in the score report.

On top of that I need to also focus on the new 12.2T IOS.

My train of though now is either :

1. to buy the ccie R/S lab workbook work through that, study the 12.2T feature and then sit the exam again

2. buy the internetwork Expert book, work through that and then sit the exam or even

3. Study the 12.2T feature + areas lacking and then sit the exam

Unfortunately the score report is a percentage score, in each area tackled in the exam, and does not reflect weight of the section. So if you get 1 out of 2 marks you are 50% proficient , which sometimes doesn't help.

Not too sure what I should do....anyone have any ideas.

Best Regards

Sally
