> Thanks and shouts to:
> - The Brians. The IEWB is a great resource.
> - CertificationZone. Very concise tutorials on CCIE topics and great

> - Marc vH. Thanks for the inspiration.
> - Greenday, Jimmy Eat World and Bowling For Soup. Punk rock is the only

> Suggestions for people going through this:
> - Fail it once - this will ensure you're calm and know how to focus the
> second time.
> - Focus on the core stuff. Frame, switching, IGP, ISDN make up around
> *half* of your points. While DLSW or 802.1x may be unknowns, don't spend
> all your time fixing niggly configs.
> - On the flipside, ensure you complete *everything*. Re-read every
> question. Make sure you don't miss a single sentence within a question.
> Once you've finished, go through the labbook again, reading all your
> configs. I found many typos and logic flaws on this second run.
> - Talk to the proctor. The questions are written by somebody who's first
> language isn't English, and they can be a bit difficult to understand
> without some clarification.
> - Cisco aren't kidding when they say bring a jacket. Its not an office
> environment, its a computer room with desks in it. I'm going to be
> sniffly for a few days because I just wore a Tshirt (but I don't care!
> Yay CCIE!).
