What has been the turning corner for me regarding speed is don't "run around the tree". What I mean by this is when you come across something in the lab try to plan ahead and pre-configure as much as you can.
For example when you go thru call routing in cucm don't just set up partitions and css's...pre-build your RP's, RL's, RG's, AAR grp's, calling party TP's, TP's... Really try to nail things and pre-config when you hit any section in the lab. What has also helped me is drilling notepad for IOS configurations as well.

Third attempt I finished with more than 3 hours to test and pick up the issues - Passed My advice: * I found the more I practiced the faster I got, practice practice practice * Use notepad to write all your device configs first, you can copy and paste large sections of config saving a lot of time * Do not be so strict to the device based approach, use it as a base and create your own hybrid * You have to setup most devices with little or no prior configuration, there are things that cannot change. Know these things and practice them over and over so you do not have to think about them * Persevere, it's not easy and it sucks most of the time but you will get there Hope this helps Jamie Parr CCIE #38633 (voice) Engineer - IT jamp...@cisco.com<mailto:jamp...@cisco.com> Phone: +44 20 8824 2641 Mobile: +44 7590622049 From: ccie_voice-boun...@onlinestudylist.com<mailto:ccie_voice-boun...@onlinestudylist.com> [mailto:ccie_voice-boun...@onlinestudylist.com<mailto:ccie_voice-boun...@onlinestudylist.com>] On Behalf Of Dane Warner Sent: 26 March 2013 23:41 To: ccie_voice@onlinestudylist.com<mailto:ccie_voice@onlinestudylist.com> Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Lab Exam Speed Strategy To All, I took my second attempt on Monday, March 25 and did not pass. I was hoping for some insight on concrete suggestions to get faster. I didn't get hung up on any one task, I seemed to keep moving forward and tried to type as fast as I could, using CLI shortcuts, etc. I used the device-based methodology and I feel pretty confident of my technical knowledge. Yet I didn't even get to many tasks at all, I would have needed another 2-3 hours to complete all tasks. I hear of candidates completing all tasks in 6-7 hours, which means I would need to become twice as fast as my last attempt. It almost sounds insurmountable. Do I need to take typing classes? Any recommendations that don't break the NDA would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Dane Warner, CCVP Sr. Network Engineer Epoch Universal, Inc.
