Re: CCIE V4 lab failed yesterday

I see why you getting all ticked off.. you actually got your # during that
period! Interesting :)

As I said and as you have just said that 1 out of 4 questions is difficult
so that means you should be able to get 3 right and have 21 points on the
table?

Now you still have what 7 hours left? and you have to grab 59 points. so if
you are strong @ L2/L3 (looking at the V3 feedback from GS) you should be
able to score 40-44 points. What that leaves you with is? 17 odd points from
REST OF THE EXAM! Enough time to look through DOCCD and pick points where
you think you are good with.

THIS is the thing with V4 and I stress its no free ride. you have NO time to
look up things on DOCCD so you need to know EVERYTHING or you have to come
back.

Are you telling me that is not easy? Come on you have got to be kidding me.
You passed GREAT! but don't tell me it was not easy.

Once again I am glad you worked hard and got your # but still easier than
folks who did it BEFORE feb 09 (had to score 80) or after Oct 18th.

Take it for what its worth but truth hurts :)

Have a blessed day!
