Hi Kingsley - Yes, I really feel that the Volume 2 labs (as painful as they are to get through) really helped me. I really worked hard on those. Yusufs labs were great too. They helped with the type of questions you are asked. The OEQ's were not difficult, but I would recommend buying the Cisco Press Flash Cards. I spent the last 3 days going over them and they really helped me. As far as time management goes I followed others advice and spent 45 minutes drawing the lab and reading it over before I started. This really helped because I had one drawing with everything in it. I did not waste time flicking through the drawings they give you, which are not that great. I saved time because I knew the topology better also I did finish in 6 hours but I I had one VPN that would just not work and I wasted the last 90 miutes on it instead of trying to sure up the points i already had. My stubborness would not let me let the points go. When Yusuf came in and said time was up I was caught off guard. I did not spend enough time checking my previous work. I should have let it go and made sure of all the other points. Also dont be scared to speak to the Proctor - there are mistakes on the drawings and the odd question that is unclear. And...... The doc site was not available for a couple of hours in the lab either and kept dropping routinely also. I really feel the lab was tough but fair - alot easier than the IPE vol 2 labs :) It is passable. It probably sounds cheesy but just follow the advice on this forum and from the IPE instructors and you will get there. ________________________________ From: Kingsley Charles [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2010 7:18 PM To: Michael Davis Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_Security] FW: CCIE #26050

I dont think he likes me very much (I bugged the life out of him) Thanks to everyone who helped me - Tyson and Brandon you were both fantastic, Jamie and Dave (the two Nerds), Armando, Ville, Kingsley etc and everyone else on the list. The exam was tough but fair. The Volume 2 labs and the OWLE is what enabled me to pass first time (and the help I received from everyone) Thanks Again Michael P.S Jamie and Dave - I only call you nerds because I admire you. _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com<http://www.ipexpert.com/>
