Great advice!
It really is amazing how each person will have their own exact strategy.
I also did not read in detail the entire I exam - I kind of skimmed it,
and I did very little re-diagramming. The only time I drew something
would be if they did not provide a diagram and I felt I needed one, or
if the provided diagram was misleading or confusing to me.
I also did not use the DOC-CD ;-)

Subject: Thank you from CCIE 18450!
Yesterday @ RTP, I passed my R&S on my fourth attempt! :)
Resources used: Attended IPExpert 5 day R&S boot camp, IPExpert
Workbook/Proctor Guide, and GroupStudy
People to thank:
Scott Morris for not only teaching me technology, but not to over
think things (although the proctors still told me I was over-thinking
things twice!). Antonio Soares for being a good study partner the last
few weeks and showing me how important it is to know how to troubleshoot
things! And, of course, all the rest of you whom have answered my
questions!
Some strategies used:
- Read one section at a time. I did not read the whole exam. (I
did this in previous attempts, and caused me to lose focus on the task
at hand).
- Did not redraw diagrams (same as above).
- Did not use colored pencils, since didn't redraw diagrams (they
did already have some there at RTP for use though).
- Performed verification of every task at the time I configured it
(instead of going back at the end to review each question). This slowed
my pace down, which I believe increased my accuracy. Only had ~40
minutes left when I completed the last task.
I am not recommending that others use my strategy, but rather do what
works for you. Once you know the technologies inside and out, you
really can just go into the exam and be yourself.
Thanks,
Mike
