You need to get right back up on that horse and keep the studying up. That
was the thing that killed me all my lab attempts - I'd put the books down
for 2-4 months. It took me 7 times, so you can do this!!

Subject: Failed my first attempt in Brussels today
Hi GS,
I attempted my first lab today and I did not pass. I know for a fact that I
could have passed it because I was well prepared and I could have configured
all the requirements. So why did i fail. I got confused with the BGP AS
numbers until the proctor corrected me. I had finished the BGP section when
i was corrected. I had to re-configure my BGP all over again. I not only
lost time but I lost my composure. I panicked because i realised that I
couldn't finish all the tasks. I almost got up to walk out but I stayed to
finish. I was able complete about 75% of my tasks but I made a lot of
mistakes and I couldn't verify my configs.
While I did very well in my switching and IGP, i did poorly in the remaining
sections because of time pressure and lack of composure(understandably).
Now I am so dejected, i can't even think about doing it again. I am writing
about my experience because my wife suggested it might make me feel lighter.
Has anyone else experienced the same before. How do i pick myself up? Is
multicast dependent on something else because I am almost certain i
configured it correctly but i still got 0%. That was one section that i did
under pressure but still felt that i did ok until i got my score.
Before i forget, the confusion in BGP was down to my rack number. The
proctor was nice and helpful.
