RE: CCIE One Day Lab FAIL [7:27029]

2001-11-21 Thread Joseph Ezerski

For those that finished with an hour or so to spare, do you mind posting
what your estimated typing speed is?  I know it sounds funny, but I work
with someone who can type 120 words a minute and it seems to make all the
difference in a tight time situation like the lab.

Thanks in advance,

O.k.  I sat the exam last week and failed but by not a lot.  Silly mistakes
killed me.  For those of you who have still to experience the one day lab
then please read ahead.

Mostly everyone on this list stated that there was no time to do the lab or
check anything.  I found this to be so untrue it was unreal.  Most people on
the lab finished with an hour to go and I had more time than this to check
and try to get the annoying things that didn't work to work (although I
failed to get two things working)... So from that, my advice is if you are
stuck on something, move on and work your way through the workbook.  Once
you get to the end you should have plenty time to fix (if you can) the
problems you left.

>From my experience of Brussels everything was there.  The proctors turned up
when they should, answered any questions you asked, there were icons for
each element you had to configure, there was paper, there were pens,
pencils, sharpeners and erasers.  Lunch was horrible although I don't think
anyone was to bothered about lunch, so if you are a person who cannot go
without lunch bring a packed lunch with you (just don't put your answers in
your lunch box !!).

All in all enjoy the experience and READ the questions (even the smallest
detail).  I am resetting in Feb next year and I reckon the pressure will
really be on then.  Most people fail 1st time anyway is what I can say this
time but next time ??

2001-11-21 Thread Gary Wong

Mine is 60-70 wpm. But the key point is, I used "i" instead of "sh ip ro",
"b" instead of "sh ip bgp", "o" instead of "sh ip ospf", "t" instead of
"conf t" etc.
Therefore, a "sh ip bgp sum" would be "b sum", or "sh ip ospf nei" would be
"o nei".
I know you get what I mean. Build a list of aliases so that this becomes a
nature to you
help a lot.  Though the side effect is that I would type "i" to show the
routing table very naturally,
even at work where those routers have not been setup with these aliases.
Also, know the option down cool.  I found that those fast-pace one would not
rely on the online help
by typing "?".  That way you will save a lot of time for fixing other
critical issues rather than figuring
out what can be match/set in a route-map.
