Re: What is it that they want huh ?

I came pretty close to passing on the 1st attempted but didn't make it. I
ran out of time so on my second attempt i brushed up on some of the topics i
was sketchy on and worked for time. I finished my second attempt two hours
early AFTER I verified everything twice. I was sure I nailed it and when i
got home, FAIL.

It was extremely frustrating and I still don't know exactly what I did
wrong. On my 3rd attempt I walked out feeling flustered and confused. I
was sure I failed it, but I passed. My conclusion is that Cisco just
randomly passes people. It has nothing to do with how you configure the
lab, they just draw names out of a hat. j/k

Seriously though, a very small mistake can domino into costing you a lot of
points. I rushed to much on my second because I ran out of time on my
first. So relax and take it easy when you're in there. Don't give up.

Be fast by knowing the answer, not by rushing.

It sounds kind of zen but I honestly think you wont have a good chance of
passing the lab until you get over being scared to fail it.

Thanks
Jason
