Nevermind:
Its the hardest Exam I have done so far. I failed it myself a year ago. Go away train-up and come back kill it another day!
The reward will be all the greater now you know how hard the exam is!


If you think training is expensive try ignorance "Drucker"

Now that you know how hard it is and what your weaknesses are, you should be able to prep for it even better.

Best of luck the next time around.

It’s a tough exam mate. Better luck next time.


Me: You need to buy a couple of servers.
Customer: Whats wrong with the servers I have?
Me: Well, you dont have *any* servers just now.
Customer: WTF! I thought I did!
