Congrats! How was the test like? I’m almost done with the self study and I’m about to work on my index.

@charismaticx - highly recommend a practice exam (if you have them) and doing the labs. Advice: leave yourself some time for the lab questions because they can be a bit laggy in terms of connectivity.

I planned on taking a practice test once I finished with the index. The exams are known to be a little buggy when you hit submit on an answer. Pacing is what helped me when I took GCIA.

Congrats! GPEN is my next one.

I am just out of the SEC560 classes with Jeff McJunkin. So I am taking a few day rest and I will start indexing and studying for the test. I have some lab that I have to re-do at home to be fully understand and not be only the "lab-monkey'.

Thanks guys! @SteveLavoie all the best!

I'm looking at GPEN next too! I'm also looking at law school but can't get past the LSAT prep. Any pointers?

VictorVictor5

@Grafixx01 PM me. There are strategies for the LSAT, especially the RC sections. I believe they are getting rid of the LG section due to a recent lawsuit.

VictorVictor5, your signature is a tad unambitious. I don't even see rocket scientist listed as a to-do yet.

Don't tempt me @yoba222! TBH I see ridiculous signature blocks at my job, so I was like, yeah, let me be that guy!
