[j-nsp] 13 Tips for Passing Juniper Lab Tests

[Keegan.Holley at sungard.com]

No offense but that example seems a bit hokey to me.  How many quad CCIE's 
are there in the world now 12?  Also, how many of them update route 
filters for a living?  They are usually pretty high up (deserving or no). 
In Scott's case he was just nominated as everyone's favorite routing 
protocol.

I feel a need to jump in here and note that this person noted below was 
most certainly not me (grin).

But yes, you're right, they can't test for stupid.  Any of these tests 
are meant to test technology knowledge.  That's done through 
artificially strange scenarios.

The rest is experience.
