Sincerely, failure at CCIE is very noble in the field. I now believe
it's part of the learning process. I believe Fail/Pass @ first attempt
depends solely on nerves and time management under such pressure
environment. This pressure can't stand you when you go in for your
second/third attempt. Trust me, you'll be a lot better than you are now
and much more confident in your next attempt.
For me, it's part of the learning process and I've accepted this and
moved on in this journey of getting those magic numbers. Life a good
friend of mine always say: At the end of day, it's not about when you
passed or on what number of attempts, people pay and appreciate you for
have the numbers ... Period!
So, get back to the books, there must be something left untouched, go
over them, take closer looks on how Routers Speaks (Debug), in my first
attempt I only paid attention to how Router thinks, you not only need
this but also you need to know how Router Speaks ... Hope this helps
Many Thanks
Yemi Salau

Hello Mohamed,
The first thing you need to understand, is that very few pass on their
first
attempt. It is always good to hope for it, but it should never be
expected.
If you expect it, you are setting yourself up for a big let down.
Please do not give up. You have invested so much time and money to this
point, it would be a worse failure to just give up.
Focus on your weak points on your score report, but don't forget to
refresh
everything else. I think a common mistake is people study their weak
points
and forget everything else and when they go back for their second
attempt,
they are caught off guard if the exam does not test the weak points they
just put so much effor into studying. This could be why it is almost as
rare for people to pass on their second attempt.
There are many versions of the exam. Don't assume that they will test
you
heavily on your weak areas. They could, but don't assume it.
If you are using a vendor workbook practice labs, go back through them
and
focus more on what they are trying to teach you in each lab rather than
finishing the lab itself. A lot of people think that just because they
can
finish all the labs in a workbook, they are ready for the real thing.
You will make it.

Subject: How to start again after failing your first try
Dear Group,
I failed on my first try 12 June 2007 , I prepared well for the exam
but the Exam stress and some stupid mistakes I made cause me much time.
anyway I need to start again and get ready for the 2nd try
I don't need what to do ??
I already read most of recommended books , practice a lot
my weak points are multicast, service, and security
I know that have to learn more about these and practice them more, but i
don't feel like studying again
any suggestion....
Thanks
Mohamed
