My advice is to read the entire lab carefully. If you only skim it, it
is likely that you may miss a detail that may be hard to locate. If
you start a task without carefully reading it then notice a detail
that you cannot recall of find the commands you may lose both time and
points. We know we can give up at most 20 points, so chose only items
that don't affect other tasks and are very difficult or time consuming
to throw (if you have to). Don't underestimate any task no matter how
easy it may seem at first glance (especially troubleshooting). If you
feel like you are ahead of schedule don't let up, press hard. Aim for
a completion time cushion and enough time to do a final validation of
EACH detail.

Hi Paul – thanks for sharing your experience. Any chance you can ex
plain what you will do differently in regards to time management on
your next attempt?

Yes, you get a summary of how you did on each topic. It is a very
high level summary.
Topic 1 Score in %
Topic 2 Score in %
The summary does not include information on how many points each
topic was worth so I recommend making note it during the exam. This
way if you fail, you can estimate how many points you got total.

Roger

Paul,
My experience on 10/27 was very much the same. I was not
successful, but do feel the exam was passable. I am shooting for
end of Jan or early Feb as my next test date. Many items I breezed
through and plan to only review them briefly during the next two
months. There were some area that I missed points, but was not sure
why so these topics I will be started on square one with a full re-
read and re-practice. Good luck getting study time during the
holidays. I am already finding it hard to pull away from work/family.
Regards,
Roger

On 11/17, I tried unsuccessfully to join the club. I did feel like
I was well prepared technically but failed on time management and
just lost my way as the day progressed. The test, in my opinion,
was fair and I should have finished with adequate time.
Technically, it certainly wasn't easy, but definitely passable. I
feel like I had the technical skills to pass it if I had a better
test taking strategy. I also believe that I failed to pay attention
to detail during my first read of the exam. The result is time
spent on tasks when I didn't know where to locate one of the minor
bullets. This costs both points and time. Having took the test and
experienced the process, I am confident that I can succeed in this.
Upon failing, I planned to reattempt as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, the one month rule put me into the holiday season
with no dates available at RTP until early January. I have some
other personal items that have came up since then so it actually
will probably be beyond that a bit. I do think my study will be
adjusted to focus on the DocCD for a period of time. I want to be
very familiar, so I can recall details as required.
