I wouldn't disregard the OEQs. I have taken the lab 6 times and on the last attempt I was pretty close to passing. I failed the OEQ section for the first time by getting only 2 out of 4 right. Normally the questions are fairly straight forward but there are a few tricky ones in the pool. Not only do they keep you from passing but they also count as 4 points towards your total score.

Guess nobody ever failed the CCIE-W just because of the OEQs :) . Good luck! Regards Stefan Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Ralph Olsen Gesendet: Dienstag, 03.

The thing with OEQ is that they are core knowledge. So if you did wireless and routing switching for 6 years dont worry. A core question in my book could be "how many non overlapping Channels are available in 802.11b" I hope you get my point. And good luck on your lab. /Ralph Sendt fra min iPhone Den 03/05/2011 kl. 00.49 skrev Bobby Di Petrillo <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> >: Hi all, My name is Bobby Di Petrillo and I recently joined the OSL group (been lurking for a week or so) and it seems like a great resource! I have taken a bootcamp recently and have been working with a few workbooks to strengthen my skills before my lab date later this month. To give a background on myself, I work for a med sized VAR in the realms of wireless, security, routing and switching. I have been studying dedicated to IE wireless for 1.5 years, with 5-6 years of Cisco Wireless experience in small to medium size environments (2000 or less APs) in various verticals. Aside from the wealth of information in the archives regarding specific technical tasks, I am primarily looking to collaborate with other prospective CCIE'ers to get a feel for what the OEQs are going to be asking, and this list was highly regarded for that purpose. I did have a peek through the archives and noticed there was an OEQ list a while back, and I took a stab at completing all the questions, but I am wondering if there is a more up to date / challenge oriented OEQ list? My approach up till this point has been reading the heck out of the recommended reading list, but I feel like a flashcards / question sheet could definitely provide some supplementary value, especially if already evaluated by candidates that have passed or sat for the lab. I am guessing that list may already been in plain sight and I might just be missing it because I'm an OSL newbie; so if I am not using the archives correctly or just being stupid, don't hesitate to set me straight! Thanks in advance everyone, and happy labbing. Bobby This e-mail may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
