First of all I am happy that you are not going to give up.
Secondly, I would advice to focus on time management. Probably, you
might need to do mock labs.
And, if possible to go through CODs

Subject: First attemp, and counting...
Hey Guys,
Please if anyone has a date he/she is giving up in December, I am very
interested to take it up please...
By the way, I just had my first attempt....
Overall, I think the exam was really fair...i had a good strategy, but
got caught up in a troubleshooting for some good time, which had an
effect on my speed and consequently, interpretation of other questions
(I guess).
I came out of the exam a happy guy actually - thinkin I had nailed it..
(but apparently not, hehe).. even though many keep saying you need to
wait unitl you see the score report.... i believe you all now...
My advice, dont over complicate the exam questions.... as a result of my
over complicating what I refer to a basic question, I lost about 2 hours
of the total exam time. And by the way, I actually fixed the problem at
the very last 2 mins of the exam and yes, it was right.
Would you see stuff you would think you dont know? Yes. Would you later
in the exam realise you even know what you thought you didnt know? Yes.
When you come across something that sounds soo complicated, try it out
first. If you havent got the slightest idea on what to do, improvise,
move on, and come back to it later. I had about 3 questions which I
though I couldnt do the first time I read them, but I did them the
second time and got them right actually...
But indirect weight of this throughout the entire exam, huge! I thought
my BGP was as easy as a IE Lab difficulty level 5, but I still got a 0
actually. Not because I cldnt do wat they wanted me to do, but because I
had missed out something they wanted me to do alongside the others
(which I still havent f**king figured out). And because all questions
depended on that, I lost all my marks for even what i had configured to
be right :-)
KISS - Keep It Simple Silly ... the basic design principle. My profs
have been telling me this for the better part of the last decade ( and i
cant believe I have still failed them by the way - not a good student i
would say).
For those thinking about quitting, im not part of your camp! You would
be suprised how closer to it we all are actually...Is my spirit low,
yes. Am I giving up the fight? Im not even thinking about it!
So please, if anyone wishes to drop a date in December, unicast me..
Thanks!!
Sadiq
PS: So whats really the deal with OSPF distance command guys? Does it
really work or not? I have tried this command many times over and it
just doesnt work as expected. Is this really a bug or what? Can the guys
really experienced with it say a word on this please? And no, its not a
problem with the advertising router's router-id..... there has to be
something else about the usage I think! I am sure many others are in on
this one with me...
