Re: The Reason for failing?

I think it boils down to we make excuses(kids,family tv,etc.). I am guilty
of this( probably the worst one). When I seen the test I knew I could have
passed if I had just studied harder. You just need to really study no
excuses and l;earn the technologies. That means read the topic then lab it
then read it again rinse and repeat till you can do in your sleep. It sucks
it takes a huge amount of willpower not to say ahh thats good enough. You
have to find a way to force yourself to be committed to studying
wholehearted. There are so many good materials there is no reason not to
pass(not like the old days when Scott took test LOL JK ). My first attempt I
was the biggest offender. I was like my strategy was off my time was
horrible i was in a car accident and had broken fingers during the lab( it
did suck but it was possible). It really boiled down to I gave 80 percent
effort instead of 200 percent effort in studying. I cost my family 1400$ we
didnt have because I weak and did not stay on top of it. I will be going for
my second attempt in oct. I truly believe there is no reason not to pass but
it is truly up to you. If you study the materials right you will be going
into a knife fight with a gun!! I know it is hard to tell your faults to
other people(I have a lot) but it is what it is. Dont make excuses just get
it done this will make you a CCIE I truly believe. I have no doubt in myself
this time around. That might be bold to say that I believe this is what it
takes.

Just my honest opinion.
