Excellent advice as always my friend, will come in handy this December! Matt Hill <[email protected]> wrote:
Here a few things from my view. Take them as you will. How far from the lab location are you? Ensure your flight is at least ino day in advance. Do not fly out on the morning of the lab, even if it is only an hour flight. You still need to dick around with security, transfers etc and your hour flight really takes about 5 hours. Dont rink ANY alcohol. No matter how tough you think you are and how well you think you can handle your grog. Maybe one glass of wine with dinner OR a cognac for a nightcap or similar but that will do. You will be surprised at how much or a difference this will make after 3-4 days. Make sure it takes less than 10 seconds to find anything in the documentation. You WILL find somehting you are unsure of. The docs load rather fast in the lab (I assume there is a local cache) so you cant blame load times. Efficient documentation usage is essential if you want to pass. A car wont run without wheels. Therefore dont concentrate on the sunroof or the sound system. If your L2/OSPF etc is shagged then there is no point trying to get the L7 pretty stuff working because they wont even score without the underlying working. The above are general well-being/lab concepts. Work these and you will be ready for test week. L-7 Keep studying as normal. By now you should be doing higher end lab sims within 6 hours. If not enjoy your $1500 hamburger. L-6 to L-3 As above L-2 travel day. Stay out of the bar at the airport. Leave your books at home. If you dont know it now you never well. Doing study from now will only stress you out because you think you dont know things. L-1 hotel day pre lab. Grab your favourite media player and plug it in to the TV in the hotel and watch the enrite Star Wars/Back to the Future/Rocky/Debbie Does Dalls or whatever you like to do to chill out. Go and get a massage. Buy a new jacket or jeans or something. Dont even think about the lab at all. Yes, this is just as easy to do as it is to say. A massage in the evening is very beneficial. Have a nice dinner and get to bed as early as you can. A decent night sleep is worth about 30% of your mark (in my view). If you sleep well you can think better, see problems quicker and focus more. You could have done 16 hours a day study for past three years and if you dont sleep well the night before then it wont make any difference whatsoever. L-0. test day. Get up early so you arent to drowsy when you walk into the test. Get a nice breakfast. Have a coffee. Not too many so you dont get the jitters (save that for the QoS section *baddum-tsch*). Enjoy the lab and kick it all the way back to San Jose!
