Re: CCIE SP passing ratio after OEQs ?

 While that is very true... if you spend your time learning to jump to
the right, jump to the left, dive to the right, dive to the left.... it
is very reasonable to say that when a train is coming straight at you, do
NOT get stuck staring at the light... DO something you've been training
for!

If you fail to do so, was it the lack of preparation? Or all the
arm-chair quarterbacks that say "Duh, shoulda jumped"?

People vary in their feelings about taking exams. Yes, it is easier for
those of us who have passed to sit back and say "no problem", but if you
make the technical details part of your study method, it cannot possibly
be a problem. Will there be some details you don't remember? Sure.
happens to all of us.

But... look at it a different way. Can you build a good part of a
config without using the "?", tab or documentation? If the answer is
yes, then you actually know things. If the answer is no, then you may
need to practice a little more. Can you take a task out of a practice
lab and talk someone else through what the answer is and why? If the
answer is no, then you may need to read a little more. If the answer is
yes, then you're doing well!

But if you spend all the time getting close to the train, but not quite
there, just to see if you can.... You're more likely to get hid on the
head with the crossing gate then you are to practice your jumping or
diving skills. ;)

  questions dont make sense, need revision, or are just straight up off the
  wall. So, until you can go pass THAT SPECIFIC exam, please stop saying DONT
  WORRY IF YOU ARE PREPARED. You can be the strongest person in the world, but
  no matter how much you prep it isnt going to stop a speeding train coming
  right at you.

  I suggest not worrying about it. If you know the blueprint it doesn't
  matter what they throw at you.
  A big part of passing the lab is having confidence, if you worry about
  such things it will just help you fail.
