Subject: failed first attempt
Jan 16 2008 I wish I had a number to display here.
I have started my study to the CCIE from mid 2006 and I am still in the
run to become CCIE, first attempt was hard interesting disappointing all
in one, I got to San Jose Tasman Drive 150 Bldg C, at 7am (yes 30 min
before they even opened the door) and I would like to tell you for
toughs of you the was never in San Jose Cisco Headquarter that is really
one of the mind blowing places to be there is a full street with only
Cisco buildings the road to Cisco if you want to guss is called "Cisco
Way".
So I was there as early as possible and try to get into the atmosphere
of the area when other candidates started arriving 90% USA local
candidate and only me and one other person where from out of states.
One of the proctors arrived at 8:20 am and gathered us for initial
briefing and dividing us to our station, I will not elaborate on the
details to not brake the NDA.
overall experience was good and I know what to do to move on to my next
attempt hopefully will be the final for this track. now I need to find
some more cash to finance my second attempt, as the only problem I have
with the exam is the amount of money I need for each attempt.
flight = ~1000$
2 - 3 night hotel = ~600$
Exam = 1400$
Other = ~400$
Total = ~3400$ for each attempt not counting the work days lost and
preparation lab rent
Just overall review the parts that failed my exam where Multicast QoS
and Security.
IGP BGP IPv6 IOS features all 100% PASS
so to all you out there don't give up, you are not alone, I know I am
not!
