That's a funny coincidence Narbik; your grandmother told me exactly the same
thing not more than two hours ago! She said "shut up you quivering wimp -
this stuff is RIDICULOUSLY EASY!"

 

"Even my grandson can do this stuff off the top of his head and we purposely
dropped him a lot when he was a child!"

Small world.

I would say concentrate on what you feel your weak area are, get all of your
doubts straightened out, as far as Mock or tech specific labs, i don't think
it matters much, if any i would focus on what you got in the class. Do all
the labs in the work books that you got, mine, Brian's etc. and work on your
accuracy. Speed should NOT and would NOT be an issue if you are totally
ready.

 

Have a great Christmas and a new year.

Folks,

I want to tell each and every one of you THANK YOU for taking the time out
of your busy study/work days to share your thoughts with me. I will be
taking all of your recommendations very seriously and it will all shape how
I attack these final days (and so now anything bad that happens is YOUR
fault! ;=) ).

Cheers all,

Scott

OK all, I'm not quite down to 40 days 'till lab time but I will be by
Christmas. Of course I am interested in general thoughts on how to spend
these last weeks, but I am particularly interested to hear thoughts on
specifics, such as when best to do assessor labs. I know I still really,
really need to work on speed, so it's too soon right now. But I don't want
to wait until the point of no return and bomb an assessor. Since there's
only two of them, you really want to get as much out of each as possible.
Also, do you bother with reading anything but the DocCD and lab solutions
guides at this late phase? I'm finding myself really, really wanting to
read Odom's QoS book again. Also that Router Firewall Security book has
largely faded from memory. I have books I haven't even cracked (and at
least one more still in the shipping pipeline). Etc.

I will mostly be staying with my full-time study approach but will be
blending in some paid work. Thus, I'm probably down to about 30 full study
days left, which is why I chose to fire off this query now. Honestly, I
would likely slip my date a month at this point, but I'm already committed
to about three weeks of travel immediately following my current lab date, so
slipping it a month would mean slipping it two or three, which I'm not too
keen on right now. I have lots of air miles, etc, so the lab isn't as
expensive for me as for some. But I loathe failure in all of its many
forms, so I want to be deadly serious about each and every attempt. Any and

all thoughts/experiences welcome!!

Cheers,

Scott
