Re: Preparing for my 3rd attempt

I would run through either INE, Narbik, or IPX labs. Note which technologies you have issues with. Then, go to your technology based workbooks and hammer away at them. Ask yourself questions outloud and answer yourself. This will show you if you know as much as you think you do.
Then, so another Mock lab with the same vendors, and keep repeating.

Finally, take a Cisco 360 online graded assessment. This should be your final approach as you'll find out where you need to study harder on.

I got a bit too nervous as many candidates on first try and didn't even approach the proctor for anything. I felt it was difficult but not in any way impossible.

After a while I decided to continue and I had all tasks done with about 1h to go. I started veryfing some stuff and went back to the advanced topics. I felt I was close but the result was not as close as I had anticipated.
