Djerk,
I'm taking the R&S lab every month until I pass. I'm taking it again very
very soon. Would you like my Workbook vol 4.1 ? its pretty much in mint
condition. I photocopied all the pages so I could write notes on the copies,
and leave the original intact...
What else do you need? Do you need someone to pay for your lab attempt?
As I'm trying to get an AMEX black card I may be inclined to help you
schedule a lab date, when were you thinking of taking it again?
-Joe

Subject: Budgetting for next lab
GS,
Sadly my employer has pulled the plug on my CCIE. I do not want to give up
but I am on a tight budget. A such I'm looking for advice of where to invest
as I'd like to make my third attempt my last one, as in successful.
I started Jan last year, passed the written in May on the third attempt.
Took Heinz Ulms bootcamp a week later, had one month study time and took my
first attempt on the 2nd of August last year. Sadly I failed, was convinced
I'd passed but I received the mail while driving home after the lab... I
guess I must have been through it too fast misreading, misinterpreting or
just plainly missing things. As I solved all tasks, verified everything. And
had about an hours and a half spare.
Then my studies stopped as my wife was 7 months pregnant and a baby room had
to be 'built'. I managed to get back studying around May this year though it
want very slow. In the end the month before my lab was spent as quqlity time
in my lab. I managed to get OSPFv3 on all if not most of my routers which
took a major redesign of the equipment and layout of the lab I'd built last
year. I also joined groupstudy around this time.
The second lab I made sure I read everything thoroughly and took my time. I
found I'd lost the speed I had last year and ran out of time. Score report
was quite similar to last years, not sure whether I can draw a reliable
conclusion there...
Now a friend of mine has advised getting ipexpert's "R&S Bundle A: Workbook
& Proctor Guide" and working through all 40 labs. As it will really stretch
my budget I'm weary of taking the risk, I've never seen the material.
Any advice appreciated,
