BRKCCIE-3000
Session Abstract
Whether you're starting the journey to earn your CCIE Routing and Switching
number or you're actively preparing for the lab exam, this session is for you!
The main objective of this short session is to provide you with good guidance
on how to effectively prepare and approach the exam.
Though the session includes illustrations and sample questions, its primary
focus is around exam centric approaches and strategies. It is not aimed at
covering in details much technical topics susceptible to appear in the exams.
There is no prerequisite to attend the session.
The agenda includes three main parts: "Know Your Enemy", "Plan of Attack"
and "Battlefield Tactics" and it closes with a series of advises "The untold...".

CCIE R&Sv5 Scoring Logic
2 required conditions to PASS:

#1: MUST meet or exceed each modules minScore
#2: MUST meet or exceed the Labs TOTAL cutScore
Example#1: PASS + FAIL+ PASS = FAIL!
Module Total score Min score Cut score Candidate 1 Score PASS/FAIL
TS 30 15 23 TS 28 PASS
DIAG 10 4 7 DIAG 2 FAIL
CFG 60 25 45 CFG 52 PASS
100 75 LAB 82 FAIL
#1: DIDNt meet or exceed each modules minScore

#2: met or exceeded the Labs TOTAL cutScore
Strong in both TS and CFG but very weak in DIAG.

!This is just an illustration! Actual values vary per exam questionnaire!
Example#2: PASS + PASS + PASS = FAIL!
TS 30 15 23 TS 15 PASS
DIAG 10 4 7 DIAG 5 PASS
100 75 LAB 47 FAIL
#1: met or exceeded each modules minScore

#2: DIDNT meet or exceed the Labs TOTAL cutScore
Passed all modules minScore, but total < cutScore!
Example#3: PASS + PASS + PASS = PASS!
TS 30 15 23 TS 18 PASS
DIAG 10 4 7 DIAG 5 PASS
100 75 LAB 75 PASS
#1: met or exceeded each modules minScore

#2: met or exceeded the Labs TOTAL cutScore
Compensated a weakness in TS with strength in CFG!

TS( minScore < score < cut score )
CCIE R&Sv5 Timing Rules
TS is maximum 150min
DIAG is fixed to 30min
CFG is 8h minus (TS + DIAG) == minimum 310min!

CCIE R&Sv5 Lab Exam Strategy
Just PASS it!
Dont try to ace it!
Relax! Target 80% in all modules, not 100%!!!
Dont give up after TS!
Remember the Scoring logic!
Dont use extra time in TS!
Manage your time!
Dont just do & assume anticipate & verify too!
Pay attention to details!
Exam Strategy: Manage your time!
Do not get stuck!
Set time limit per item!
Use your watch or workstation clock!
Monitor the sessions count-down timer (TS & DIAG)!
STOP and move on to the next item!
Keep a note and get back to it later
Use prohibited solution if needed
Troubleshoot before asking help to the proctor!
Exam Strategy: Pay attention to the detail!
Do not assume!
Read items multiple times!
Consult diagrams! (authoritative reference)
Think, anticipate and plan before doing!
Beware of typos!
Use notepad + copy/paste to author config snippets!
Verify states, not configuration!
Re-read item when completed, check for anything missing!
Read, Think, Anticipate, Do, Verify, Re-read, Re-verify!
Exam Strategy: Control your stress!
Build your confidence level!
Relax!
Scan read and cherry pick items!
Take the low-hanging fruits! (Collect the easy points first!)
Use notepad to speed up configs!
Rely on the documentation!
Keep notes of overall progress (TS & CFG).

TS Tactics to avoid getting stuck!
Cherry pick items:
Identify items with lower points value
Set time limit, monitor time and move on if needed!!
Focus on the highlighted region of the main topology!*

Dont expect best practice scenario!
Isolate the issue with a Root-cause-analysis!
Keep track of config changes you made! Revert to inits if needed!
Go for the simplest solution!
Verify your solution against constraints and guidelines!
Dont use the extra time if youre confident to score >=80%!

Solution vs Guidelines
Is it allowed to:
shutdown interface? NO!
remove OSPF network type? YES, as long as the interface is still in OSPF!
change network mask? YES, as long as the interface is still up/up
remove MTU? YES, it simply reverts to default config!!
disable DHCP snooping? NO!
configure a new tunnel interface? NO!
remove an ACL? NO!
change an ACL? YES, as long as it is still applied where it was!
remove excluded address? YES, as long as this is the only possible solution!
Etc
Use common sense!
And
Proctor is your last resort

DIAG Tactics to Make your choice!
Carefully read the stem and all options then go through all resources provided.
Mentally picture the situation and understand the problem asked.
Reject absurd option(s) and identify options pair(s)!
Test each plausible option(s) using the resources provided!
Use your knowledge and experience to navigate different resources!
There is only one correct answer, considering all resources provided!
Go for the simplest option(s) that is confirmed by the provided documentation!

CFG Tactics to Anticipate, Do, Verify!
Quickly read the whole scenario!
Gauge item difficulty and identify inter-dependency between items.
Determine the item sequence for efficient implementation!
Work item as a unit! Keep note when missing requirements!
Identify explicit vs implicit requirements
Think about smart configuration options before jumping to configuration.
Choose fastest solution option.
Minimise keyboard time (notepad, copy/paste, aliases, minimal CLI, )
Enable debugs, test and validate solutions.

Better to use a prohibited solution than missing a requirement!
Verify all requirements Reread the whole stem!
