Hi Reza,
Here is the fact that you are afraid of and I am sure nobody else will say
it to you "YOU will fail miserably", after you walk out of the exam you will
feel that you shoot yourself in the foot and the exam was achievable. You
will study for a month and come back to pass it in 4 hours.
So why do you have to shoot yourself in the foot for the first time.
More than 50% of the CCIE exam is how you handle your pressure/ stress.
Please look at your positive points. You know that if you will not even
touch QoS and Multicast, you will be able to pass because both sections are
no more than 15 points in the exam.
I believe you do not need any bootcamps/extra material, and please do not
get me wrong, Narbik is a phenomenal Instructor and a very close friend of
mine. All what you need is to relief your stress out and think positively.
- never mind about not working right now and think about how much time you
can dedicate for your study. You can give between 300-400 hours in the
remaining month. Make use of your time and try to find people are willing to
help like this group.
- never mind to impress your x manager, or GS members, or your x colleagues
at work... by passing from 1st attempt. Thinking to impress others is just
adding more pressure however nobody will see you falling in your 1st
attempt.
- never mind about your weak technologies because you still have time to
study everything from scratch BUT WITH CLEAR/UNSTRESSED MIND.
I developed a stress reliever formula and called it 80/20 CCIE Preparation
method.

Subject: Please advise, I have 1 month to LAB
Hello
I need all of you people who already done this way to advise me.
Especially
the great instructors in the group.
I have 1 month to the LAB, it's my first attempt. I already got a leave
from
my job, so I have full 1 month to be prepared.
I have too much stress!
Since 2 months ago, I increased my study times, to around 6 to 8 hours
per
day.
I reviewed all the IE COD as my second time, I wrote all the tips, and I
try
to read them randomly.
I done the IE WB VOL1, 2 times, I know that I still have some gaps on
QOS,
especially on 3550, 3560 QOS.
I'm still doing the IE VOL2 labs, I done till LAB 16. I do it slowly, I
try
to solve myself and whenever I learn anything new, I write it down and
then
I attach on the wall of my room, at the moment there are lots of papers
on
my wall, and every day I read them to memorize.
I have the printed version of 3560 docs, I already read most of the
chapters
and I did my notes.
I know I have gaps in QOS, Multicast, I don't want to get lost in
multicast
in the LAB, sometimes I spend a lot of time for doing the multicast
what I have in my library :
1) Doyell books
2) R&S exam certi guide (odom)
3) QOS exam cert guide (odom) (I didn't read)
4) many printed documents about QOS, Multicast which I got from a good
friend. (just organized, not read yet)
I donno, I have to continue doing the labs, or stop, just read, or IE
COD,
or Narbik?? I'm not familiar with Narbik.
I plan to do IE mock labs on every Thursday .
Please kindly Advise.
Thanks
