>> Hi wonderful people,
>>
>> It was a long journey towards the five digits! Finally I passed my R&S
>> lab
>> last Monday March 2nd.
>>
>> After the exam I didn't like to check my result. I was afraid of failing
>> the
>> lab! And I decided not to check it unless I'm ready with a plan for the
>> second attempt :)
>> The second day passed without touching my computer trying to forget about
>> it. But every hour the issue was jumping into my head!
>>
>> And while reading my mail I found an e-mail from Cisco, and in the
>> preview I
>> read the word congratulations! hmmmmmm! It may be a spam! I read it word
>> by
>> word. Oh my godness I did it!
>>
>> It is a long story how I prepared for the exam. But really it needs
>> patiance, and commitment. The most two important things I would say:
>>
>> First: It is not about how many scenarios you have implemented, it is
>> always
>> about how much knowledge you got from each scenario. In other words don't
>> rush through labs. You think you save time, or you increase your speed.
>> But
>> believe me you loose much more in terms of accuracy and troubleshooting.
>>
>> Second: Going for a boot camp is a very good tool you need to consider. I
>> didn't go for a boot camp for financial reasons. But later on l realized
>> that the boot camp would save me much valuable time. It should put you in
>> the right track on the shortest time. Self preparation is OK but it is a
>> time consuming thing.
>>
>> I like to thank all people in this great group. I was only asking
>> questions
>> and reading answers :). but my self I guess I never answered a question,
>> may
>> be I didn't like to mislead any body :)
>>
>> Special thanks for these guys Dale Shaw, Narbik, and Pavel Bykov. They
>> are
>> truly supportive in this group (at least for the questions I have asked)
>> but
>> of course all of the guys here are wonderful.
>>
>> Thanks,
