RE: failed 2nd attempt

Sorry to hear that Bobby.

On a side note, I am sure you probaly know, but in case you forgot, if you re-take the CCIE R&S Written exam before January, it will renew all certs again for 3 years.

Subject: failed 2nd attempt

Well, I'm at a loss. I made my second attempt yesterday and I failed. I
REALLY thought that I passed. The only part that I was worried about was the
open ended questions, but according to my score report I got 100% on my
"Core Knowledge" section.
I walked out yesterday thinking that I aced it. My score report actually
says that I did worse yesterday than I did on my first try in January.

In the last year and a half I've:

*Gone through all three volumes of IEWB twice

*picked 10 labs out of volume 2 and went through them until I could finish
them in 5 hours or less

*gone through the Narbik workbooks once

*Went through the bootcamp at IPExpert and recorded it on an mp3 player and
then went back over the entire class when I got home.

I honestly don't know what else to study at this point. I'm pretty sure my
boss is going to say that the company won't pay for another exam after
seeing my score report. I hate to think that I've spent a couple thousand
hours studying for a certification that I'm not going to get. Since the lab
is changing in October, my lab equipment and study materials will be wasted.

My CCNP and CCVP are going to expire in January if I don't pass something
between now and then. I guess I'll hit the books.....
