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.

Any chance you can explain what you will do differently in regards to time management on your next attempt?

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.

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 Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 9:30 PM, Paul Stewart <[email protected]> wrote: 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. _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com "This e-mail is intended for the recipient only.
