Hello Everyone,
I was desperately waiting to write this Email.
All those who used to write this Email I used to show to my fianci and tell
her hope someday I will write this Email. And today is my day!!!!!!!
My heartiest thanks my GOD, he showered his blessings over me and I passed
the exam at first attempt.
It's all because of my parents and my love Poonam, who always kept on saying
study study......and prayed for me.
My friends Mayur, Aman, and Gaurav were the moral and technical support for
me.
I really thank the Proctor for his co-operation to bear me in the exam
I took my exam on 17th January in Dubai. After the exam,I didn't check my
results, Farhan you really showed daring to check ur results yourself on the
spot, but I couldn't.
Till next morning until I reached my place back from the Exam, I was just
thinking how to go for the next attempt, how to manage my preparation and
all.
but as soon as I reached , my Fianci didn't stop smiling, I still didn't
understand why is she smiling, she told me that I have cleared the exam, and I
didn't believe it until I myself checked on internet, it was really precious
moment for me to hear this great news, I could not believe that I am a CCIE
now till next 2-3 days.
Both of the Brian Dennis and Brian Mcghan are super duper hit, I strongly tell
you that when I joined group study on May 2007, and the people asking
questions there, I really used to think that I even don't know what are they
asking. But when I got IE CODs and workbook, I learnt most of the stuff from
there, and was capable of understanding the questions and answers at least,
then I didn't see behind and kept moving for Eight months day and night
feeling that I am very behind. The last 2 months I don't know when I sleep and
when I eat and when I practice.
On the Lab Day, at the last moment in the exam, I made a huge mistake, to
forcibly attempt a question that was breaking my reachability, so I was in a
doubt that it would deduct many marks , but all went well and I got my
number.
For those who have to take their exams , I will strongly recommend that don't
forcibly attempt anything you don't know and after doing every question, keep
on crosschecking that you did, is perfect. Don't overlook the question read it
carefully, that's only where the crux is and fight till the last second of the
exam, don't give up, there was one question that took more than 45 minutes for
me but I believed that I can do this and finally got it.
Tips:- First complete your exam, and then come back to the missed ones that
you didn't attempt or were not crosschecked.
I really thank to GS, from where I learnt a lot and heartiest thanks to all
people here for prompt answers of my stupid questions.
I don't say that I am perfect but I believe in :- "Practice Practice again
makes a man perfect" Don't be discourage and Just practice a Lotsss n lotssss
on your rack, finally you will get your one.
Thanks once again to all of You.
