Re: OER/PfR at lab exam?

Hello All,
Actually, what I see after the first attempt and failing in that attempt
with my full respect to all vendors one thing I don't care what I will have
on my exam but what I care for that I am already know every thing in the
blueprint and hold the all vendors books study this from vendor one and
then take a look at vendor two and also Brian McGahan mentioned it many
many times and also Scott and Brian Dennis and many many experts no way you
have to sit down and read and one thing to mention here when you read
through the all topic you already clear it in all expert level certs bgp is
same that's the end so sit down and read there's no magic will let you get
it even if you use the dump the point behind getting the number is to be
really expert not paper CCIE and this wont done by watching videos or
reading notes you have to sit down and hold your book and your pen and
white paper and keep writing and taking notes then lab them create your own
scenarios even in PFR MPLS any any thing I passed my config section and
failed on Trouble shooting for 3 tickets and i did it this way and studying
again and will be in soon what I learned from the CCIE's with not one but
the CCIEx5 or any times of expert the key is in sitting down and read and
understand why this and why that but id u study the whole thing once very
well u will not study it again and we can see this very well in the core
topics of SP and RS so with my full respect to all all topics important i
wont pass any thing and go throw slowly and if u think its a long way nope
sorry its just 8 hours at the end to get recorded in the world data base
special thanks to the Brians of INE the learned me this from their posts
videos and WB.

and to god be with all us

Thanks,
Mohamed A. Abbas
