Do I even have any hope of passing on Oct 2nd? I'm using up all of my vacation the next 3 weeks so that I can memorize as much as possible.. (I though RFC's were off limits?) I've been knocking mock labs out of the park so the lab is the least of my concerns ironically... I haven't had a vacation in like 6 years so I sure do hope this doesn't turn out to be a waste of vacation time...

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................................................
