Re: RS lab 10 2 10

Bahahahhahahha, I think I just realized you meant FEBRUARY 10th, not
October 2nd. Darn European dates : ) Oh well. Good luck!!! Now let
me give you some last minute prep haha

1) Your last week, get off the routers and switches. You aren't going
to learn the stuff in the last week
2) Brush up on your weak areas. Know where to find them in the documentation
3) Brush up on your book theory for OEQ. DocCD + Odom's book
4) Get to the city you are taking the exam a day early and get plenty
of rest the night before
5) Do NOT be afraid to utilize the proctor. He is there to help you.
I don't care how irritated he may seem or how silly you THINK you
look. Ask him. You are paying $200 / hr for the privilege
6) Make sure you VERIFY every single thing you configure in the lab
7) Don't wast your time in TS trying to "put together the big
picture". No one ticket will effect another ticket so just do what
you are asked. You could have 20 routers or 30 routers. There is no
point wasting your time trying to do more than what you are asked.
Just go to the segment you are being questioned on, and take care of
the issue.
8) Time management -- 10 min per ticket in TS. If you can't solve a
config task in 15 minutes or so, you must move on

Good luck!!!
