Re: CCIE#27144

Julius,

Be sure you know you stuff every topic. The first time I went to the exam
there were some topics I did not know good enough, I needed to do
researching on serveral topics, this costs time. After that I failed my exam
I went topic my topic and especialiy the topics I wasn't very good at. Know
every item for inside out. You need to dream about it. Make notes short
notes of every thing. This helps memorizing the difficult things. When you
get such topic you know what to do. Be sure When the date of you exam is
coming near that you are confident of everything

All things you have controle of arrange them as good as possible, Take a
hotel the day before have a nice dinner and a good time of sleep. In the
morning of your exam, take your time. Have some breakfast and drink a nice
cup of cofffee. Arive ealy at you lab location so you know your on time

Kind regards,

Maarten Vervoorn
