Hello Blanco,
I went through what you were going through a couple of months ago. And my
problem in the first attempt was exactly the same as yours, lack of time and
silly mistakes. Now I would narrow that to just the lack of time. Because you
can figure out the silly mistakes if you had enough time to review the lab.
My suggestion is to work on your timing. Try to finish your lab atleast one to
two hours earlier, so that you can review the lab all over again . When you
review, i think is is best if you start reviewing it from the end going
backwards, since the silly mistakes tend to pop up in the end with Security
and QOS rather than the L2/Frame relay/IGP sections.
Just like Dane was saying.. take it easy.. take a weekend off (I know its not
easy, the exam is always on the back of your mind). Get a date a month or two
later and start preps towards the date.
Theres another tip that a friend of mine gave me, and this worked !!! DO NOT
let anyone know of your next lab date. That way you will not wilt under the
pressure of expectations.
All the best mate :)
Ranjith Samuel.
