Re: OT : BOOTCAMP ADVICE

Ravi,

Having been to IE and Narbiks bootcamp. I would do his soup to nuts workbook
and get really familiar with the doc cd. You want to be at the level where
you can do a majority of the workbook without looking at the answers and use
the doc cd to find them.I would also bring earplugs. Me personally you start
talking and you dont get much labbing done. You are going to learn a lot
very fast so take notes. Stay till Narbik kicks you out lol. Bring energy
drinks. Be honest with yourself and ask questions even if you think they are
stupid. Dont check your email or anything else. One bad email can throw your
focus off. Lastly trust everything he tells you to do for preparation for
the test. Sometimes we think we know best and we dont( i found out the hard
way). Narbik is a phenom!! he can write out any config from memory. He talks
to himself as most savants do that is to be expected LOL JK. Really you will
have a good time and dont weaken. Stay late and learn everything you can
thats what you are paying for.
