It sounds like you have the right attitude. Don't go in and think you are going to fail, YOU CAN PASS on the first attempt. The exam is very doable and is not overly tricky. Ahhhhhhhh if I only had that first attempt back.
Stay calm and focused and try not to be freaked out on the first attempt. I would probably say nerves cause more people to fail on their first attempt than anything else. Don't be nervous, this is easier said than done. REMEMBER THESE FEW THINGS: 1. It is only an exam and you can take it multiple times. 2. The proctors want you to pass and are there to clarify requirements and issues with equipment. 3. ASK THE PROCTOR questions! 4. Look at the exam as a challenge which attempts to verify you understand how the protocols and equipment work opposed to just knowing how to configure them. -----Original Message----- From: Courtney Alexander Foster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 12:56 PM To: McCallum, Robert; 'Ccielab' (E-mail); Cisco@Groupstudy.

For those of you who have still to experience the one day lab then please read ahead. Mostly everyone on this list stated that there was no time to do the lab or check anything. I found this to be so untrue it was unreal. Most people on the lab finished with an hour to go and I had more time than this to check and try to get the annoying things that didn't work to work (although I failed to get two things working)... So from that, my advice is if you are stuck on something, move on and work your way through the workbook. Once you get to the end you should have plenty time to fix (if you can) the problems you left. >From my experience of Brussels everything was there. The proctors turned up when they should, answered any questions you asked, there were icons for each element you had to configure, there was paper, there were pens, pencils, sharpeners and erasers. Lunch was horrible although I don't think anyone was to bothered about lunch, so if you are a person who cannot go without lunch bring a packed lunch with you (just don't put your answers in your lunch box !!). All in all enjoy the experience and READ the questions (even the smallest detail). I am resetting in Feb next year and I reckon the pressure will really be on then. Most people fail 1st time anyway is what I can say this time but next time ??
