Conquering the CCIE Lab in Richardson, TX 

I'm happy to say that I did pass and get my CCIE number (67564)... Apologies for the delayed response but truly do appreciate your support!

@@networkyourfuture2022 congratulations! I’m giving my 2nd attempt next Monday. Did you have any trouble injected while you were on lunch break? I heard they’re injecting trouble, is it true?

@@plassly1 thank you so much for that and wishing you all the best. This was technically my 3rd attempt (2 back in 2018 on the old R&S version), but noooooo, that's all false rumors for folks trying to make an excuse for not passing. Just take your time and let "muscle memory" take over from the 100's of hours you've spent studying and don't stress yourself out the night before. What you know by then, is what you're gonna know and take into the text, so self-doubt, etc. won't help. But take the lessons learned from your 1st attempt mixed with that "gap" you found in your knowledge and have "filled" afterwards and I've got all the faith in the world that you will be perfectly fine. Wishing you all the best on getting your number and safe travels!

Thank you for the all the positivity. This is my 4th attempt for ccie. 2nd on EI..last EI attempt was on 26th July. Previous attempts were way back in 2012&2015 both different tracks. this time the actual lab is 5hours, before it was 8hours and used to get ample time. My last EI attempt was on track.. time was the issue, was unable to complete sec 3. Made some silly mistakes and to rectify it took time. I became panic after seeing the time ... and then on i was not able to keep up to finish it. Hoping to get my number this time. Thank you so much for responding. Enjoy the #.

@@plassly1 understood and truly do appreciate you sharing. To be quite honest, I did section 3 (automation) before my DNAC/SDWAN just to get it out of the way. We of course all have different strengths and the sheer amount of content they will test us on, but vManage and DNAC were very new to me, so I wanted to leave time for that in case I needed to tshoot any issues. But having seen the entire thing in July, you've got a grasp on the approach you need to take. Crazy you got a test date that quick though lol, I know it's rough getting a spot on that calendar. But again, appreciate the support and hoping to hear the good news from you in a few weeks!
