RE: Failed Again!!!

Is this a pity party or a study list? The OEQs suck, but that's part of life. Work through it, persevere. I saw *actual* questions at Cisco Live and I don't recall any of them being too terrible.

All of this time (complaining, griping, etc) could be put to studying for the new 4.0 track, honing your skills on QoS, MPLS and Zone Base Firewalls.

Negativity is like cancer. Study hard and stay positive. Life's too short!

Cheers!

Hmm....

Stop working on the lab?

And then what?

Have the 40,000+ Engineers on this list start working on developing actual
Best Practices?

Step by Step instructions on how and why to build a network effeciently and
effectively...

Where's the fun in that?

Who would buy a certification based on Best/Leading Practices?

Hmmm....

Maybe this is a sign of the times...

CompTIA Certified Internetworking Engineer

The CCIE of tomorrow...
