for my second attempt on Friday and received the news yesterday that I passed.

Ben,

I just pulled away from a timed practice lab to get the news of the CCIE
Voice to CCIE Collaboration transition change about 2 hours late.  This is
awesome news!!

I was a restaurant manager for many years and I know that people can be
quick to complain but not so fast to commend, so I wanted to be sure and
THANK YOU for changing the policy on the CCIE Voice/Collaboration
certifications.  Cisco has done the right thing and you have my sincerest
gratitude for any part you played in this change.

I don't have 'a number' yet, but with this news my enthusiasm to get the
certification is restored and I know that you've made a lot folks happy
with this change in policy.

Thank you again, and hopefully I'll be taking a written exam to get that
Collaboration IE instead of the lab.

Marty

Way to go, Mark!

I'm not sure that I would have been able to handle testing on Friday and not
getting results for four days! :)

There's really not much to say that already hasn't been shared from everyone 
else.  I will add or stress the following:
 
1. Practice, practice and practice some more.
You have to be able to finish the IPexpert labs on-time and without running 
into any troubles.  Make note of questions that give you trouble.  GO back to 
it 1 day, 2 days, 1 week, etc later and repeat it.  One of the tough things is 
to not fool yourself. If you find yourself saying "ahh, I don' t need to 
practice that again, I know it."  You need to decide if that is REALLY true or 
not.
 
2. More labs.
After finishing the IPexpert labs, twist them around and create your own 
scenarios.  I and a couple others have some threads with some examples of what 
we twisted.  And configure them without running into any troubles.
 
3. Time
You REALLY need that 2 hours at the end of the exam for testing and more 
testing and carefully reading the questions.  You can only get that free time 
if you follow the other numbers.
 
4. Participate
By participating in the OSL (and other groups if you are on any), you test your 
knowledge and prepardness. If you can help others, you are helping yourself.  
If you can explain it to someone else, you are better prepared.  There's a 
difference in sitting in front of the customer's equipment and getting it to 
work vs telling them how it works or how to configure something (hey it's their 
equipment.)
 
You should monitor participation and keep track of how you are more easily 
helping others solove their questions.  You may not get every question correct 
or offer correct advice, but keep track of that.  It;s part of the game.  Even 
those that are just starting their quest can still participate.  Ask the 
original poster for an output that you would think offer insight into solving 
their question.
 
Try their questions in your lab or on PL.  Ipexpert has stated they are working 
towards 4 hours lab rental times.  These will help to try out a couple 
questions or scenarios or re-practice things that have been bugging you or 
giving you trouble.
 
5. Read
Read the SRND cover to cover MANY times.  TRY everything they mention in there 
in the lab.  The SRND is also very detailed and leave a lot to be desired.  
Figure out what they are getting at and fill in those blanks.
 
Read the CCM and CCME admin guides.  The Feature and Services guide,  the 
system guide, the CCME SRND, CUP Integration guide.  Well, just about every 
document you can FIND.  And find time searching for and downloading any 
supporting Cisco documentation that IPX has as it's content.  Then find some 
more.  I had a huge folder on my laptop with Cisco documentation.  Oh, read 
releae notes also.
 
 
P.S.  Time for the hardline.
I will not say anything about the test content, either detailed, implied or 
generally.  Follow the above, keep working at it and take then exam when you 
feel you are ready.  Inside information, details or insight won't matter if you 
follow the above.
 
ANYONE asking me for information that *I* feel breaks NDA will have that e-mail 
forwarded to tipline for Cisco to decide on the intrepretation.  They may not 
be able to do anything, but it gives them more information on what's going on 
out there.  They are WELL aware of what used to happen and are continuing to 
take steps to correct that to get the exam back to the level and value it used 
to be.
 
Keep up the good work.  Thanks everyone.
