Nobody in yet in the door so I waited in the car until I noticed someone else just arrived and the door was opened, then sat in the lobby to wait for the proctor, a few guys were there, 2 voice, bunch of RS and another guy packing his luggage entered last, he was taking Security too. Got in, explained the rules, I’m putting attention although I’ve already hear it 4 times before, the RS bunch got routed to their seats first to let...

After returning the car rental we take off to check in our respective flights, go out and had some nice pizza for dinner, he didnt’ feel too well about how he did, but it’s my third time and I knew I had it, we chat about each other a while and I got to go back to the airport, it’s getting late for my flight. I arrive to the airport, running like crazy, spent too much time on the dinner outside the airport, walk by security,...

This time I went to RTP instead, stood at the Wingate hotel near the testing site, for 2 days before the exam, doing one full scale lab a day to study, and not studying on the day before the exam. Again, I felt pretty good to ahead and pass, but this time I missed the mark by 3 tasks instead of the 2 from my first attempt.

In my previous 2 failed RS attempts I didn’t go feeling as prepared as I did this...

It’s been a while since I wrote something to the blog, reason being is that it’s not easy to juggle your time between too many things at the same time, yeah, even if you are studying a lot for it does not mean that you can write that much on your blog! My lab is in SJ, Oct 17th, I’m going to crash at a friend’s that lives in SF, I’m charging that whole week to vacation so I don’t get swamped into work related...

When I started doing the labs I tried not to peek at the workbook’s solutions nor the videos but as I advanced I realized it was the whole point of it, at the starting line I couldn’t be just demanding myself to know how to do stuff out of my head without having practiced for almost a month after the bootcamp was done. So after going through labs 1-8 in my first 4 hours of practice and finding myself lost by in the last two labs (7...
