Passed CCIE#24775

Dear All,
            I have passed yesterday in Duabi , i can't imagine my feelings
when i saw the number
i was checking the mail every 10 mins unitl , i got an E-mail at 5:00 AM
then open the link and i saw the no.

This was my secound time , the 1st time was in 17-May-2009 and i failed
because of the OEQ , i almost got all the points of the LAB , but failed on
the OEQ due to rush
So my advice here is not to rush with the OEQ , take all the 30 Mins in
answering , reviewing & reviewing & reviewing the OEQ

after i failed on the 1st attempt , i was very depressed because i did very
well in the LAB section
So i scheduled for another attempt on 5th July , i said to myself that it is
the final attempt and i will not schedule any other attempts for the R&S
i couldn't study very well between the 2 attempts because whenever i go for
study i couldn't stop myself thinking in the 1st attempt and how i was very
close on it

 *LAB Day:*
During the LAB , i finished the OEQ in 30 Mins after reviewing serveral
times , as many of you said don't be afraid from the OEQ, if you are very
well prepared , you will not find any dificulty in answering those questions
I finished the LAB in 6.5 Hours , then i have reviewed the exam once again
and found several mistakes that would definitely make me fail the exam , So
you MUST finish the exam as early as possible in order to review the exam
once again
I have asked the procotor couple of questions

*Recommended Stuff used during my study*
IE Workbooks (Vol 1,2,3 Ver4.1&5)
Narbick Advanced technology focus book
IE VOD
IP Expert VOD
ASET LABs

Many thanks for this wonderful Group Study , Many thanks to Narbick for his
detailed mail explaing the technologies also many thanks to all of you who
care to explaing the stuff to the other guys here

and at last i will go for the SP track after talking a break and hope i will
nail it soon

Thanks again to all of you

Regards
Jason
