CVoice on Friday - maybe?

[lerdalt]

Well, feeling pretty good about where I'm at for Cvoice. Thinking I'll at least make an attempt on it. Don't think I'll blow it out of the water, but do think I've got a pretty strong chance of passing.

I've used the following material so far:
1. CVoice book by Kevin Wallace
2. SkillSoft course that just got access to in the last couple of weeks.
3. Only a little lab time. Enough to setup a quick voip dial peer, and make some quick calls.
4. Created a list of acronyms from the book and course.

Plan for tomorrow night is to finish up the course (1 section left), try to get some more lab time in, would like to setup PLAR, and a call from an analog phone to an ip phone, maybe get a gateway/gatekeeper up. Also go through some docs from Cisco's website for various topics.

Then Thursday night, last minute review, go over my acronym list, re-quiz via skillsoft and possible go back through any modules I don't score very well on.

Anyone have any additional suggestions for prep?

I passed C-voice with a 975. I did not fine the test difficult. The only advice I have is make sure you read the SIM word for word the ip address almost got me...

I've learned that before on the tests too. My biggest trick/tip for that is read every question carefully, read the answers, then go back and re-read the question.

Only thing that has me a little worried going in, is that many of questions I get from the Skillsoft course are pretty easy to figure out by process of elimination. I really need to hit the acronyms hard though. The whole gateway/gatekeeper session with ACF, ARQ, GRQ, etc, was pretty muddy.

Todd,
You may want to purchase this.. I believe that you can download immediately.. Only $14.99 and it is designed for crunch time with acronyms and the like!

Jeter,
Please be careful about announcing exam questions. Cisco monitors this site and would hate for some of us to get caught up in an NDA issue. Especially me.. LoL

[jeter]

I will be more careful in the future...

Yeah right! I barely fit all of my equipment on the truck with all of her shoes and purses! This place has a decent sized walk-in closet and that's not enough space for all of her clothes! LoL

Well..test is scheduled for 11:15 central time. Yesterday and last night was starting to have second thoughts. Probably didn't help that by the time I finally got in front of the books/videos, I was starting to nod off.

Feeling better about it this morning, but really wish I would have gotten some quality lab time in and not just little playing with some dial-peers. I'll just have to make the time after I get moved and the new lab is all setup and ready to go.

 

[lerdalt]

WOW..was not any where near prepared enough. Thought for sure I'd be close to passing, but was I ever wrong.

I did kind of rush through my prep time. At least I know what I need to go back and study up on for the next time. More hands on definitely would have helped too.

 

[jeter]

Good Luck next time! DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!!

Thanks. I should add, I don't think this was the worst test I've ever taken either. Can't say there was anything on it that made me got WTF in the middle of it.

I'll get it next time, just going to have a couple of weeks off from study time is all.

lerdalt,

As you said you now have a better understanding of what to do next time, you will get it!

Take a few days off and get back to the grind

Yeah, the quicker you hit the books the faster you can put this one behind you! When I was reading the blueprints for the concentrations I put them Voice, Security, Wireless in terms of difficulty! Taking the Wireless next! LoL

The Voice looked like it would require the most lab time!
