Cecil,
I suggest you contact Cisco reporting your disability maybe they have spescial arrangements for this. Though I agree that typing fast is not that important factor, still if Cisco can do anything to make your lab experience easier - like adding more time for you or whatever appropriate - worth the try to contact them. I know a CCIE who is blind and ofcourse he wouldn't be able to take the lab without special arrangements from Cisco side for him.
Eric,
Regarding the plague, I also got mine days ago, almost 9 months after passing, it is a glass like where my name, number, and the track I passed is written. Is that what you get only? I thought I should get with this an ID-Card like what Cisco sends when you are a CCNP for example.
Regards,
Yasser

Hi,
People say speed is your friend on the lab. Where speed = knowing the
material, developing a plan of attack, and then executing your plan. Typing
it in is a whole different story....
The first time I took the lab, I went in with an arm that was freshly
broken.... (I broke it 3 days before sitting my first time.) If I knew
what I was doing back then, even though I was typing at 1/2 the speed, I
would have been able to pass.... The second, third, fourth, and fifth time
around, I was typing twice as fast and didn't pass.
The six time, I actually took my time and double checked the command before
I hit enter. I found errors atleast 5 times, that I would never have found,
without pausing and doublechecking before hitting enter.
Know your stuff, develop a plan, and execute your plan! Typing speed isn't
that important... (unless you are 2 or 3 words per minute).
If you are that slow, you might think of a different career.... (or create a
really long list of alias commands)..... ;)
And for everybody else who recently passed, and hasn't received their plaque
yet..... I just got my plaque on Monday, nearly 9 months later.
Good luck!
Eric
