It was a long journey but I finally passed yesterday at RTP. This was my
9th attempt at the lab. The last four attempts I felt confident walking out
only
to receive that dreaded email and after logging in to find out I had failed
again. This last attempt I was much more relaxed and completed everything
but
2
questions by lunch. After lunch I finished those up, ran TCLSH scripts, and
rechecked everything. I was completed by 2PM. I almost gave up about 3
months
ago but now I'm glad I didn't. I started out with IPExpert, using their
workbook
and moved to the NetMasterClass DoIT Labs. They were the key factor in
helping
me get over the hump to pass.

Best advice I can give is stick to it. I'm not the brightest or the
quickest,
but I'm persistent. That is the key. A lot of practice. For the last 6
months
I've studied 2-3 hours each night and at least 18 hours over the weekend.
Doing
lab after lab, changing up the labs, trying new things, knowing the DocCD
inside
and out. My wife has been wonderful through out all of this. That helped
the
most. (Also having the equipment made a lot of difference. Ebay was my
friend!!!)

Good luck to everyone still on track and thank you to everyone that has
contributed to the group. GroupStudy helped in answering a lot of my
questions
and opened my eyes to some things I never would have though of.
