Blog: Coming up for air…2 days to go
Okay, in the last week I have redone Mocklabs 3,4,5,6, and 7, Workbook2 Lab 8, Workbook 3 labs 7, 8 and 9. I’m done with labs. :) I was mainly focusing on speed because there wasn’t anything on those labs that I hadn’t seen before. At this stage, I’m pretty exhausted and I think I need to calm down a little. I think I will concentrate on watching CODs (Catalyst QOS, and advanced BGP videos come to mind as something I wouldn’t mind re watching) and exploring the DOCCD for the next two days.
I have been reading through labs while I listen to my mp3 notes on that particular lab. This strategy is working great, and I am getting better and recognizing different options that I could employ to solve a particular task. I didn’t get as much time as I hoped to review the CCIE Assessor’s so that is what I’ll do this afternoon. Maybe just do them on paper again and have a look through the results link that they sent through on email a bit more closely.
I fly up to Sydney tomorrow around Lunchtime. I think I will study a little in the morning and get some plane reading prepared. Once I arrive, I’ll take a cab or train ride to the Cisco Offices and make sure I know how to get there (I’ve been there before, just want to make sure I know the route). Tomorrow night, I’m going to try and get some sleep early, maybe watch a movie and just relax.
This will probably be my last post before my lab, so wish me luck. I think I am pretty well prepared, my biggest worry is question interpretation now. Tech wise, I think I have covered everything. This is the hardest I’ve ever worked for something, and I feel like it is finally within reach. I’ll let you know how I go….

Arden,
You got me feeling it too. I go to San Jose in August for the Security IE. I know you will do well and I hope I can do the same. Cant wait to hear how you did.
