Re: Failed Again!!!

Sorry to hear this 1400 down the tube on a single question

I would be pissed

Forget all the other reasons and be pissed. CCIE is a monarch, 90 of ccies forget what they studied within the first year. Concentrate on being a very good diverse engineer with experience in all aspects of networking these days sec, rs, voice, sp and you will make the cash (maybe not in pakistan). I am up in dec so I'm feeling like braveheart I'm not going to let them take my money without a huge fight !! So I am getting ready.

Subject: Re: Failed Again!!!

i failed yesterday as well - 4th time and 2nd time failing on oeq... guess i
didn't learn from the first time. not sure if i am going to continue on with
this - seeing high scores on the config portion (which this is right?? lab)
and failing because someone might interpret your answer to a question
differently than you intended it. i can't image that i got 2 questions wrong
- i know 1 of them i put something stupid at then end of a correct
answer.... should have just put the answer and left it at that. the other 3
i knew were correct. unfortunately spent 2 months going over all theory -
memorization - rfc's etc when i could have been at the beach with my
kids.......

now what every configuration does - even if you think it is a small thing -
ex ospf limit retransmissions

now how to interpret EVERY show command you have available to you in the ios
- you might use a particular one - where they might use a completely
different one to get the same info

now how to determine if something is wrong and know every single cause of it
- output drops - don't just put check duplex settings or congestion - cause
they might be looking for cable issue, hardware issue etc.

basically - it is going to come down to the luck of the drawl. if you get a
question that correlates to something you use on a daily basis or happen to
know very well - - your good. if not , get ready to drop another $1400
bucks.

just blowing steam! this is really getting disheartening, it is something i
want to do very badly but is it worth it
anymore................................................
