RE: Version 4.0 - Didn't pass

Sorry hear that Mike. Sounds like a tough ask for anyone taking the new v4 without much exposure to the new material. You're really brave. You mention bugs - what exactly did you mean?

Cheers,

Jit

Subject: Version 4.0 - Didn't pass

Groupstudy,

Version 4.0 is no joke. I didn't pass today. At least I don't think I
passed. There was just too much new material that I wasn't prepared for. I'd
recommend to anyone about to take the lab to really hit the DocCD hard. For
the most part, I didn't find the troubleshooting section very difficult. I
did get held with MPLS troubleshoot though. The frustrating thing was that
with about a minute left, I realized what was wrong. Also I think there's a
lot less easy points in the new version. I am planning on retaking it in 3
months. But for now I have to refocus on starting work again.

Does anyone have a general guideline about what exactly are the boundaries
of NDA? I remember Narbik talking about that in the bootcamp, but I don't
really remember right now.

The biggest thing I don't like about the new online format is that there's
just too much material to fit on one monitor. It's really just a lot of
clutter. Having everything in a notebook was so much easier. You could
quickly flip back and forth between pages. I'd advise anyone thinking about
taking to wait at least a month till they work out the bugs.
