Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Second Attempt

[Karen Johnson]

 in all attempts I couldn't sleep the night before, drink wine will help.
also no study at all at night before exam, just watch movie or spoil yourself. 

wake up early in morning on the exam day and review quickly the notes

do not wait for version 9 , I am pretty sure very less will pass on first year 
after version change.
if I were you, I will give 1 more try for this version in next month because 
your brain, speed, and adaptability that you practice for years will gone when 
we stop and hard to restart again.

I understand most people will feel down after failed, happen to my few 
attempts. but the one who passed is the one who  overcome this feeling.

good luck

Hi Everyone,
I took my second attempt Nov. 7th at RTP. Unfortunately, I was not successful, 
but I do have a some good reminders or tips for those of you still going for 
Voice. 

First, many many people on this list stress how important it is to make a plan 
and stick to it. I can't echo that enough. I had a great plan using a modified 
'device based method' in conjunction with a notepad dial plan following the 
layout that Somphol made. My plan was awesome and I was crushing the lab. By 
lunch time I had nearly half of the lab completed and tested and I was feeling 
great! After lunch I made the fatal mistake of breaking from my plan and I 
tried to go after a few questions that were worth a bunch of points - big 
mistake. I ended up getting caught trying to figure something out that I never 
should have attempted and in the end, wouldn't have mattered anyhow. 
Stick-to-the-PLAN! 

Second, make sure to sleep in the days before the lab. It's kind of a 
no-brainer, but it's something most people don't do. Don't bother cramming the 
night or week before the exam. If you don't know it by then, you're probably 
not going to get it in time for the lab. You're not going to sleep the night 
before, so take the time to get some rest. I've read study after study that say 
a good nights sleep and regular rest will help you retain information better.  

Make sure you know where to find information you don't memorize (i.e. URLs, 
BACD, QoS configs, etc). We've seen a few posts about Cisco changing the 
location of items on their site, so make sure to remember where things have 
moved. 

For those of you that are in a similar position as I am, remember that most of 
what we've learned converts to Collaboration, so just stick with it and keep 
studying.

I've decided to take the next few months off and hit the Collaboration hard in 
2014. Most if not all of us are probably working with CUCM 9 and VMware, so the 
transition should be easier.  

Have a great year guys and best of luck and God Bless to those of you trying to 
get your number this year!

Josh

[Cristobal Priego]

sometimes it's hard to keep the motivation after you've failed the test and
you see your score.  try to find a study partner that will make you commit
to get the cert, get updates frequently and stuff. i have taken the lab
twice in the last 2 months and i'm going for my third attempt next week.
it's great to have a motivation like a raise, i don't know if i'm going to
get a raise if i get my cert, but i know i'm going to gain credibility and
trust, and perhaps a job offer.  I live and work in northern California and
i wish there was a great market for ccie's or maybe there is but i haven't
been looked at those opportunities yet. there are great people knowledgeable
willing to pass this test, try to find them and keep it up
i've been studying for a bit over 1.5 years now for this test and i'd love
to pass it sooner than later.

[adam compton]

Believe me, I was pissed after my second attempt and failed as well.  I'm
taking 3rd attempt next thursday.  Some things changed from when I took it
in March and in June. so the best advice I could give is to try it over and
over as quick as possible until you get it.  I've got a big raise on the
line, so the incentive to pass is big.  I just started a new job that was a
huge raise from my last job, and that was because I was studying CCIE
Voice.  I probably wouldn't have gotten the interview without it.  I cannot
speak for all countries and areas, but in the Southeast US,  this
certification is HIGHLY in demand.  More in demand than CCIE R&S by a long
shot.

I agree it seems like cisco is hell-bent on failing everyone with silly
requirements, and being shady about telling you what to study, but the fact
of the matter is, if you want the recognition that comes with CCIE Voice,
you have to grin, bear it, and take it like a woman ;)

Ämne: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Second Attempt

Good Morning (EST).

I made a 2nd attempt last week in RTP and didn’t make it.  It was quiet there 
with only one other candidate and one proctor.Lunch was good as always 
though.

I finished most of the test but had to skip QoS because of time.

I have been practicing a lot sense my first attempt but not enough apparently.

I feel the IPExpert material has prepared me and will prepare me well enough to 
pass some day.  The “think outside the box” questions from my first 2 attempts 
I will work on in the home lab and PL time.

My stagey was to get all of the foundation config in place which included all 
of the integrations of all the applications listed in the blue print which were 
on my exams.  I completed one questions from each section to make sure the 
integration pieces were up.  I was going to complete the rest after the dial 
plan was complete.

I would test a little along the way but have learned that usually a reset or 
reboot later in the day fixes things.  : )

I started the dial plan right before lunch so I could think about it during 
lunch.  Then after lunch I kept working on it.  I think it is more straight 
forward then they word it.  But that is life and that is why we all struggle 
with it.   I almost think the dial plan is a reading comprehension exercise.  
Through IPExpert you lean all the tools  for configuring a proper dial plan.  I 
just have to lean to apply those tools to the question based on the way they 
ask it.

What I will practice is reading all the mock lab dial plan sections and mapping 
out a solution on paper first so I understand it and then practice executing it 
during my lab time.

All though we all know the old way of doing the dial plan I have been doing the 
labs then new way since that is the expert way and will be the way for the day 
job going forward.

I would like to thank the group for answering some of my questions.  I feel the 
OSL is good but like most followers I can’t  always find time to read it and 
respond to other questions from candidates.

I am scheduled for Vic’s mock lab towards the end of March.  I have not 
scheduled a 3rd attempt yet.  My company is reviewing things and may not let me 
be out of town for 2 weeks in a row.

That is all for now.  Enjoy the journey.
