Please retake the boot camp before attending the new v4. I have added bunch of stuff to the lectures, roughly about 5 more hours.
you have paid for it, take advantage of the new boot camp, you won’t be sorry.

Thanks

Imagine how far it would go in providing for them and at least you'd be a happier husband with more time for them....other than that I agree with the previous comment. The exam is very much doable and the vendor material out there is quite good to cover the new blueprint. Personally I'll be going back in March, Im taking some time off studies to catch up on projects....don't give up .... I know a 6 time trying ccie who told me at some point it became sort of fun to just keep going back:-) and was a bit disappointed when he passed:-) yeah right:-)...he now has 3 ccie's and passed the first time doing the SP and security....(the new blueprint).. congratulations, and I think if my wife/girfriend were pregnant thats probably the biggest motivation to get the CCIE over and done with….

Get back on it man, you're probably not far from getting through it. I sat it the other day and was really worried as I'd heard no-one had passed. I can happily say I didn't really see anything that wasn't in Narbiks workbooks and other material i've seen. There really wasn't that much complicated setup at all. I wasn't prepared so failed, but came out smiling anyway as my first look at the lab had confirmed it's very easily do-able. I mean seriously! OEQs were fair, troubleshooting was kind of fun and the config wasn't that difficult. If i'd had a bit more versatile experience at a few things, i'd have been able to finish the exam with hours to spare. I think the novelty of the format takes a little getting used to but i'm going for a retake just after Xmas and am confident i'll get it then. Look at the new blueprint for what it is, although it's bigger than v3, it's still not that bad. IPv6 is piece o cake, troubleshooting isn't a subject so take that out, then roll Optimise The Network, Net Services and Net Security into one section and you're good to go! I feel for you man, but you haven't failed until you stop trying! In my opinion, the R&S CCIE just got a lot more valuable - rise to it! Congrats on the pregnancy!
