Sameer,

Everyone gets their own Lab strategy I think, especially when they've done
it a couple of times and through doing practice labs.

My strategy was to finish at around 2pm, go back and go through every
question, find your mistakes and correct them. I don't believe in double
checking things as you go through because it takes too long and you've
probably configure it correctly on 70%. I think the best option is to finish
early and then go back and test, check.

Also ask the proctor a million questions, I did. Many questions need
clarifying so get up and ask.

Regards

Lee.

Lee,

Would you like to share the Lab strategy which you used? I think it will
help everyone who are studying for the Lab.

Thanks,
Sameer

Unlucky Leigh, not many pass first time. You'll get it next time.
I did see a few beads of sweat running down your face at one point!

2 things for success

1. Know your stuff.
2. Know the Lab Strategy.

Once you have those 2, you may stand a chance!!

Regards

Lee.

All,

I feel the need to vent my frustration with my self.

I failed in Brussels yesterday - and I was sat only 3 seats from the
"Mighty" Lee Donald (#15168).

I failed for a few reasons. Mainly silly mistakes that could have been
corrected with more checking and more time. I was struggling with a
relatively simple ospf problem and it really ate my time away. Having
not got this working, properly, some of the other sections suffered
too. I got my percentages through today and looking through them, I
think if I had got the ospf problem sorted quicker, then today I may
have been a different email.

As is, I feel that one main problem let me down and ate my time away. I

got more and more frustrated and after that couldn't think too
straight. Sitting in the lab is a funny place to be and plays havoc
with the nerves.

Still, that was only try number one. I will get my number....
