Re: OEQ Waiver program! No MORE OEQ for Cisco 360 students.

Mate,
it is not exactly 8 hours, it is 0.5 + 2 + 5.5, so if you are good at TS
then good for you. First hand experience, when I passed my lab I made it
in 6 hours, there was no TS or OEQ back then so I had time to go time
and again over my configs and CLI outputs (though it seemed all correct
to me, didn't find any issues). If they put the same amount of tasks in
5.5 format of configuration section, each 30 minutes would make
difference, especially considering new all-on-one-screen format. I am
not good at all-on-one screen thing, I'd need a printed workbook, and
not only because of weak sight but also because it is faster and more
relaxed to one's mind to look up on the screen for CLI windows and down
to the workbook for diagrams and tasks. It is indeed a matter of habit,
but almost everyone has this habit. So new format would scary me, slow
me down, and 30 minutes extra would NOT go amiss. :-)

Probably vendors out there should start issuing their workbooks in such
all-on-one-screen format to help people get familiar with environment. :-)

My .02 AUD incl GST.
