Re: Can a normal person pass RS LAB ?

The longer you sit there analyzing all the reasons why you will not pass or why you can't pass or why it is impossible, the longer you will be putting yourself in the negative mindset and situation of failure. I don't mean to sound too Anthony Robbins on you, but you need to man up and get out there and study hard and pass the thing.

If you keep feeding your mind negativity and negative questions, it will give you negative answers surely! It is passable. Other experts have said that, I am telling you the same thing now it is up to you to decide weather or not and how bad you want it.

I am looking at this from the statistical point of view. So low passing rate does not look very passable for me. I do not know any other degree or certification with so low passing rate. What then exactly all those who do not pass are doing wrong? There must be a identifiable reason for that. I do not think that all those who do not pass are not well prepared or did not study hard enough?

Well,

I passed it. I do have some 15 years of NETWORKING experience, but I
become instructer only recently. In that regard, I consider myself an
expert, but still very much a mere mortal.

CCIE is an expert-level exam. When you go to the lab, you are expected
to be subject-matter expert. It is very complex, very difficult, but
perfectly doable.

Yes, if you do this you will pass. It's a perfectly passable test.
