First 5 digits going to Peru :)
Hello all!
Finally, after my 3rd attempt, and thanks to God, yesterday I got my R&S number. I would like to share some of my experience with you.
Just before my first attempt at Brazil I thought I was ready, and indeed I came very close to passing (so close that I asked for a reread, well, you know the result). I think this time I did not paid enough attention to the questions. Other thing I did not do this time was getting more help from the proctor, everytime I were ALMOST sure of what they asked me for, it was enough for me (wrong!!).
After one month and a half, I went to my second attempt at RTP. A very nice place and all, I thought I had performed well enough in the exam; but I obtained a lower score than in my first attempt! imagine the frustration… This time I paid more attention to the wording, but, analyzing later, I think that I might have had a problem with connectivity somewhere after an important change I made in the last minutes, maybe that brought me down :S Also, I don’t not why, again, I did not asked much help from the proctors! still wondering why
My third attempt (at Brazil again) was not easier, but I did not made the previous mistakes this time, I read carefully each task and considered the proctor my friend. At this point I can recommend you some tips for the lab that worked for me: Read carefully each task before starting the lab; use TCLSH and macros for testing connectivity faster; arrive with an strategy (practice it before, have an order for doing things); the redraw of the topology is very important too; feel comfortable asking the proctor if you are not sure what they are asking for (important); keep track of the complete and incomplete tasks as you go; finally, do what they ask.
The material I used and found very useful in my last-stage preparation was: - Before 1st attempt: IE workbook v3.0 vol 1 & 2, IE Class on Demand and IE mock lab. - Before 2nd attempt: NMC CheckITs, 1 CCIE Assesor lab and GS. - Before final attempt: some review labs from IE WB v3.0, 1 NMC CheckIT and GS!! All these resources were excellent! Also building a lab of my own was vital, preparing a course for my colleagues about routing protocols helped very much too.
I would like to mention that I wrote most of this mail (including everything but the last 4 digits of my number) more than one week before the big day. That helped me visualize this moment and gain extra confidence for the exam (this may be another tip)
I am not a regular active participant of this list, but I want to thank you all, and very much, for helping me out with your postings. Special thanks to the following members of this list (most of them do not have idea of how much their postings helped me, most of them do not know me either!): Victor Cappuccio (mucha suerte pana, lo vas a lograr!!), Scott Morris, Brian Dennis, Brian McGahan, Sabrina Pittarel, Jim Ferens and Anthony Sequeira.
I’ll stick around. Best wishes and good luck to all!
