Subject: Passed in RTP Friday

Well, I passed on my second attempt in RTP on Friday.

My story is similar to many we see here each week. I started my serious
study a year ago, passed the written in February. I failed my first
attempt in July, and I knew I was not entirely ready. On Friday, I went
there with determination and confidence that I knew my stuff. The
morning was slow and steady, verifying everything along the way. I used
the technique Brian Dennis explains in his strategy session. Anyway,
lunch came around, which was horrible (fish). I could not help but to
think of the delicious watermelon juice in SJ, thanks Joe. Oh well,
back to work.

I was done 30 minutes after lunch, and started to do the ones I skipped.
I finished those with a few reads of the docCD. Then with 2 hours
remaining, I started back at the first question, and double-checked my
answers. I fixed a couple minor errors, asked the proctor a few
clarifying questions, and time was up. I walked out being pretty damn
sure I had at least 90+ points...

Friday night I couldn't sleep, and woke up at 5:30am. Decided I would
check the ccie site for s#!ts and giggles, and sure enough it was
there...19155.

I want to thank my fianci for putting up with me spending all my free
time studying. I am getting Married Saturday, so I was told I have to
pass this time. :) Secondly I wanted to thank many of the great people
on groupstudy, including Scott Morris, Brian Dennis, Brian McGahan, and
Narbik for all their help to so many of us who are learning this
material. You do inspire many of us to try harder and think a little
more. Last but not least, thanks to Sadiq Yakasai, Gary Duncanson, and
Joe Brunner for making me think a little harder about things. Also the
proctors in RTP, Howard and Bobby were great as always.

Materials I used included many internal training bootcamps, I shared a
few IEWB labs, read the docCD almost entirely, and of course GroupStudy.
GroupStudy is a great learning tool if you try to solve other people's
problems as they arise. So thanks to all of those who asked questions,
and those who maintain the list.

Cheers,
Jason, CCIE# 19155
