CCIE Ver 3
I just took the CCIE written and it was tough, I missed by 2 questions, I only scored a 39% on the QOS and was low on only IP routing and WAN.
I thought I was ready when I took the test, I now need to work a bit more on a couple of those areas. Fortunately for me work has enrolled me in a QOS class. Unfortunately for me it is only a two day web cast class, other were able to attend the full week class and has reported back that it was great but too short to cover all it needed to. I would have been in the full week class had I not gotten selected for the CCIE bootcamp (written only).
Lightlearn put on the class and it was well done, our instructor was Noel, and he really seems to know his stuff, and he knows the test. There was more than one time that he stressed a point in class and the concept was covered in the test.
Know your OSPF, BGP, QOS, routing decisions. The test was widely varied in topic and switched quickly from one to another.
When I arrived in Tempe for the class, I was not ready to take the test. I had short notice for the class. I tried to make the most of it, I came close, now I need to re-apply what I learned to build up my foundation, then and only then, I will feel comfort in taking the test again.
Unfortunately my bosses think I need to take then now... I don't see what good that will do, as I will need much more prep for the lab. I have not had issues with the method a prep work that I have done in the past, so I will continue to use it.
