Congatulations!
Yeah, relax a little before reading the list again! But on the bright side,
the reading of messages is entirely different after you've passed! :)

Talk about an email I've been waiting to send out for a while. I passed
yesterday in RTP on my third attempt. Turns out all the previous
congratulations emails were right, perseverance and dedication (and a little
bit of luck) are the ingredients. I started studying in March and finally
reached the first plateau yesterday.
As for my preparation... I used InternetworkExperts with the help of both
the Brian's. Scott Morris also contributed between the list and a training
class I attended. I personally found the Brian's Class-on-Demands and lab
structure very helpful. When it came to Mock Labs I used both the Assessor
labs, Brian's, and NMC. I would recommend not putting all of your eggs in
one basket and making sure you at least see some Mock Labs from some of the
other vendors. The rationale for this is so you don't get too used to the
way the labs are written from one particular group.
All in all, I recommend the Brian's material, flavored with Mock Labs from
NMC and the Assessor (at least that's what I found to be best for me).
Thanks to all who have helped on the list as it is the best place to share
your thoughts when you see a lab requirement and go, "whhaaaaaa?". Thanks
again and I'll start reading the list once again once I get some nice
relaxation time :-).
