Congrats!!

I studied like hell and had a firm grasp on the material and failed my first shot. I havent taken it since, it's been a few months now.

The test sucked, I need to start over.

Keep at it. The biggest key is doing labs. I probably read the book about 2 complete times and skimmed through it a third time. ACL's NAT, subnetting and troubleshooting are really key to learn.

I am going to take some time out for a few months. I am going to concentrate on my Linux admin skills. I work at a colocation company and we run a lot of Linux servers so I want to get my administration skill up to par. I'll start really trying to learn scripting (Bash and Perl) and just have some fun. I will probably by the CCNP books and read at my leisure.

well, thank GOD Cisco has that "second chance" thing going on. Missed by 10 points.

I know the areas where I screwed up so I will knock this out no problem the next time.

Time for a cold beer.

Sounds like a plan!

Brush up on your weak areas, but make sure you review everything else too -- you don't want to lose any of the points you got the first time. Use your 5 days wisely

With the secondshot, this was just your free practice test -- so Good Luck on your real attempt!

.....exactly what I'm doing. Hit the books as soon as I finished that cold beer. I'll definitely be more prepared next time.

Also, be sure to pay attention to the MODERATED. I remember there was one question I was about to submit the answer when MODERATED

Read the question is key. Take time to review the topology also. Don't rush. One question i would have been done in 2 minutes but did not look at the topology close enough and took me 6 minutes longer than it should have.
