I passed on my second attempt yesterday(wednesday) in RTP! It has been a
amazing journey and the following were huge keys in my studying:
* Reading PSv2, BGP, DQOS, and BRS(caslow). The key is to understand not to
second guess yourself in the lab.
* Attending IPexpert's/Scott Morris' ILT bootcamp and Vclass. Scott is a
really great instructor(a little mean on some labs, but in the end it
helps). He presented everything in a manner that is easily understood. I
would like to let everyone know that bootcamp only takes you a little of the
way, understanding the underlying technologies and then practicing what they
teach you is what makes the bootcamps valuable!
* Internetwork Expert's Workbook! I have to say that the way things are
presented are very good for learning and progressing. The closest thing to
the real lab!
* NetMasterClass CheckIt Lab. You never know how it is to have the burdern
of time under your belt. These CheckIt Labs are amazing, you can actually
realize what you did wrong. ***Indy Teller is one of the nicest person i
have ever dealt with
* My Fiance- For all of the long boring conversations she pretended to be
interested in... For not getting mad when humonguous credit card bills came
in.... For being by my side through failure! It wouldn't be as great if i
didn't have her to share it with!
For those of you that are going to take the test for the first time or for
Xth time:
* Pay attention to detail!!! Cisco is not mean, they are just very subtle.
The little details made me fail my first attempt.
* Take your time!!! I am not sure about anyone else but both times i was
finished with 3 hours to spare(and check). It is not a race, take your time
and be accurate. Typos count, stupidity counts, and ignorance counts. This
is where i would like to say that no matter what, it is just a test and I
have met some VERY bright people that don't need the title CCIE to show that
they are an expert.(KENNETH WYGAND being one of many, but he is going to
pass next week too!)
* Last but not least if anyone needs a good plan for the night before the
CCIE LAB TEST ask Scott Morris...lol
Thanks to everyone on the list.
Now it is time to get back to the "normal" 19 year olds life!
Sincerely,
Jamie Sanbower
