I guess with more hands-on, we´ll be able to do it more "automatically", but so far Im also struggling the same way you are!<BR/><BR/>My personal feeling is that I need to understand better what the question is really asking instead of guessing! Everytime I check the answer I say: Thats it?! Thats just what they wanted?! Then I read the question again and find it easy (not all times... lol), but I really need to work more on the interpretation, specially that Im not a native english speaker, that kind makes things a bit more difficult!<BR/><BR/>Thanks buddy! :)<BR/><BR/>Have a nice day!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Caue WailemannCauehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14135625083936372207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705754923528810809.post-1832212449631104912008-09-09T12:03:00.000-03:002008-09-09T12:03:00.000-03:00Hey Caue,I'm at the point in my studies where I un...Hey Caue,<BR/><BR/>I'm at the point in my studies where I understand commands and how to use them, but I'm having trouble with the mental leap where you read a question and know what commands to use. Do you know what I mean?<BR/><BR/>For example, IPExpert BLS Vol 2, Sec 3, Task 4.2 says "R7 should not see any of the /24 routes, but should still have reachability to all four loopbacks." I drew a blank, even though I know how to use the aggregate-address command with the summary-only option and I know what it does.<BR/><BR/>I guess it's just part of the study process, hopefully that'll come with experience and time. Do you have any pointers or ideas?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm off the focus chapters now (volume 1) and am going through volume 2, really just to mix things up. I don't have much lab equipment, so I'm doing a mixture of Dynamips and just writing configs together in notepad (actually, Notepad++, which I highly recommend).<BR/><BR/>thanks,<BR/>AaronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705754923528810809.post-90826562412499013332008-09-08T14:43:00.000-03:002008-09-08T14:43:00.000-03:00Hi Aaron!

I´m a better engineer now than last year, last month! The skills the CCIE Studies are providing to me are helping me a lot, and I feel much better when implementing things, and now ahead of time what to expect! That´s really encouraging as you said!<BR/><BR/>The numbers will be just a result of our efforts! If I´m able to get them, GREAT! Otherwise, I´ll feel just fine with all the knowledge acquired during the studies! :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great comment buddy!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Caue WailemannCauehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14135625083936372207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705754923528810809.post-64705123489628358912008-09-08T14:35:00.000-03:002008-09-08T14:35:00.000-03:00Hey Nickelby!

If we ever stop we´ll never get back on track!<BR/><BR/>The biggest challenge is to conciliate Work/Studies/Family! Man! Too difficult! :)<BR/><BR/>But don´t worry! I´ll not start a new coconut business (at least, not yet!) hahaha! :)<BR/><BR/>Yeah! And how is the preparation for the wedding dinner?! Everything alright?! I hope so!<BR/><BR/>Take care buddy, and thanks!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Caue WailemannCauehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14135625083936372207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705754923528810809.post-43994136512664482172008-09-08T09:22:00.000-03:002008-09-08T09:22:00.000-03:00CCIE study really is lonely.

I think the point is just try to plug away - a little bit here, a little bit there....... The big thing I try to remember is even if I never take the lab and never get the certification, all my studying is not a waste of time because I'm learning important, valuable skills. And that's encouraging - the time I'm spending is not in vain, no matter the outcome. <BR/><BR/>Do you try to look at it the same way, or are you thinking - CCIE or bust?<BR/><BR/>-AaronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705754923528810809.post-46542987054284827352008-09-07T12:12:00.000-03:002008-09-07T12:12:00.000-03:00Keep going man!

I almost fell into that trap so nowadays I keep myself busy with the Certification Guide before I really start studying on the VODs/CoDs this October (after I finish some personal events first ;-)).Nickelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542984307013198265noreply@blogger.com
