All,
Passed the CCIE on Wednesday in RTP. This was my 6th attempt. I used a
combination of resources but my two favorites where the CheckIt and DoIt
labs from Netmasters and the Mock Lab from Internetwork Experts. I
finally
figured out that after five attempts my approach was broken. I have
three
kids and had always tried to study at home so that the kids did not feel
slighted. After my fifth failure this year my wife told me that I needed
to
stay in the office every evening and on Saturday so that I wouldn't be
distracted. From September 29th until November 15th I practiced this
strategy religiously and it paid off. As I was nearing my date this time
I
spent an incredible amount of time on the univercd studying everything
that
I had seen in my previous attempts and it was amazing that many of the
basic
things I had thought I was getting right I wasn't. I honestly think that
a
couple of factors (1) Studying in a distraction free environment, 2)
knowing
where to find data on the univercd like the back of my hand, and 3) a
return
to the basics) actually made the difference this time and allowed me to
pass.
I would really like everyone to know that I could not have done this
without the support of my wife and kids. They really made this possible.
I
wish everyone that is currently pursuing this goal the best of luck and
all
I can say is that if you fail, get back up, grab a new date and continue
until you pass.
Regards,
David Browning, CCIE 15393
