Re: Lab Attempt #2 - no go :- [7:28142]
Chuck, I am sorry to hear that someone as dedicated to having a thorough understanding of the technology and software necessary to become a CCIE has not made the mark this time - I'm sure that as many say the third time is a charm. However, as I mentioned in a previous post I have grave concerns about accomplishing the more difficult tasks of a previous two day event and having them compressed into the new one day format. At least for us old timers and senior citizens. As I recall you mentioned time management a definite issue with the previous test and did you think that this is even a greater concern for the new format. You mentioned fat fingering some input, and this would indicate that speed typing and the use of alias command definitions will definitely be required. I don't believe that they allow you to print out your configurations with a provided printer either -- this probably means a lot time consuming hand drafts to keep track of IP address assignments etc. I have scheduled my Lab for the end of May 2002 (first attempt) and hope to have a better estimate of what the new format represents by then - I would like to think that by diligent home lab study, formal hands-on training and reading the mail I can prepare for the event. As I mentioned in a previous post, I am most likely one of the oldest CCIE candidates around having just passed my 60th birthday. I would prefer to have some time during the LAB test to verify IOS command syntax by using the CD and CCO references available. But I would almost garner that little on no time will be available for research when encountering some unexpected configuration scenario. One question would be: did you feel even greater pressure to perform under the new one day time constraints? Will be reading the mail and wish you the best in your next attempt; however, as someone mentioned take a short break, rest -- even though training and certification is like a long HI climb on a ladder each rung is not meant to rest upon but to reach a higher level. You are almost there and I am still at the bottom looking up. Regards; Ray CCDP, CCNP and CCIE candidate.

RE: Lab Attempt #2 - no go :- [7:28142]
Chuck, Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate your knowledge and the informative posts. As someone else posted, it's all about learning. I am prepping for my Written and it's great to have a format to follow. I only hope that the lab's purpose is to prove CCIE level knowledge to be useful and applicable to real-world networking. Good luck on the next one sir.

Chuck, I can read the frustration in your post...I feel your pain. I have to say I am surprised to hear that your experience with the new lab was not a good one. If there is anybody I would say that about, it is you. I hope you are planning a vacation from Cisco. Certainly you are tired. A rested mind will make the choice to take the lab again (and take no prisoners). A rested mind will identify the objectives more clearly. And of course a rested mind will focus, comprehend and retain the required information more completely. Keep up the good work dude!

RE: Lab Attempt #2 - no go :- [7:28142]
Let me clarify a bit here. I am quite impressed with the new format. I was not impressed by my performance, but I believe the one day lab is a more comprehensive and more difficult test than the two day. I look forward to my next encounter, set for June 16, 2002. I see from the scheduling tool that a lot of dates seem to open up at the last minute, and I want to get back in no later than the end of April.
