Welcome to manhood, it does feel good huh?
Let me apologize for the fact you could not come to USA to take the exam
brother!
It's ok. Wait 10 years; we'll be the same country. You can come in and out
all you want. You can take the CCIE AI with me as a citizen of the North
American union.

Hello everybody,
I am proud to announce that I have passed my CCIE R&S in Brussels . My
journey was long enough due to the fact that I had to fly from Nort America
(Vancouver, Canada) to Dubai twice and Europ twice to get my CCIE. Jet lag
was
one of the reasons I failed the exam last month. This time I flew one day
ahead of my exam to overcome the jet lag.
The material I used was all IE Expert. The last week before the exam I
did
my own bootcamp. I used to start reviewing technologies from 10:00 am till
2:00pm. Then rest for an hour and do practice exam from 3:00 till 11:00pm. I
was doing lots of silly mistakes which gave me a good practice. By the end
of
the week I was so tired and felt that I really understood the technologies
and
the most important is how to verify and troubleshoot them.
This attempt was the hardest amonth my last three attempts. My first scan
of
the exam indicated a failure but as I passed through the exam I was able to
clear most of the things. My target was to finish in six hours so I have 2
hours to re-check all my configs. I skipped two non-core questions and was
able to get end to end reachability + IPV6 configuration done by lunch time.
After lunch I was able to finish the other sections of the exams including
BGP.
After that I went through all the skipped questions and then reviewed
EVERY
single configuration. I was able to spot three mistakes and corrected one
miss-configured question. I left the exam and I knew that I had missed 5
points for sure. After the exam I reviewed everthing in mind to see if I
missed anything else but couldn't think of anything I missed.
I really thank everybody in this group for the help they provided.
Wish all the preparing for the CCIE best of luck and now a 2 months rest
before I start looking in CCIE Voice,
Regards,
