I did not leave the exam but in 6 hours I have finished the configs and
the verifications one hour earlier (around 15:40). At that point I was
pretty sure that I have all the core technologies working and had at
least the score to pass. During the last hour I did not change anything
but I did not like to leave because I was enjoying seeing tcl script
pinging !!!!!!!!!
I admit that i had some psychological effect in the beginning but after
I finished the L2 and IGP, I started to gain confidence that helped me
finish earlier.
I live in Belgium and 70 km from cisco's location. I was late because
there was an accident and a lot of traffic jams and it took me more than
2 hours to get there.
