Good afternoon everyone, I have my first lab attempt this Thursday at the RTP facility. I have a few last minute questions that I can't seem to find answers to. They are completely silly questions, I know, but at this point they are the things that are floating around in my mind. If any of you have experience with testing at the RTP, North Carolina location I would love to pick your brain for a moment. Any help is much appreciated.
1) I don't want to rely on the hotel shuttle, so I have rented a car. Are the parking lots open parking, or are they metered spots? I want to make sure I have proper payment if necessary. I saw in Joe's video that there were visitor spots outside building 3. Does anyone have experience with whether those spots are full at 6:30AM? 2) What is the temperature like in the lab room? Do I need to bring a jacket? I'm used to cold server rooms so anything above 70F is fine for me. 3) I have heard that lunch is complementary, but I haven't found confirmation of that on Cisco's web site. Anyone know for sure? If it isn't, does anyone know how much it is? 4) I have heard that snack and drink vending machines are available for use. Are we allowed to eat and drink while taking the exam, or are they limited to breaks only? Also, does anyone know the price of a soda in the machines? I know the general rule is that you cannot take anything into or out of the lab, so I am assuming I cannot bring food or drink with me. 5) I know you are not allowed cell phones and other devices, but what is their policy on wrist watches? I wear an analog watch normally, is that allowed? Some of the Vue testing centers prohibit even them. Like I said, mostly silly questions, but I'm at that point now where OSPF sham-links and CoPP have lost their mystery, but the exam room is still a grey area. Thanks for all your help, Don Pezet _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com Are you a CCNP or CCIE and looking for a job?
