CHECKiT is a NetMasterClass exclusive
The NetMasterClass CHECKiT labs provide you with an on-line graded lab using the same equipment that is used in the CCIE® lab exam. You are given the 8 hour lab scenario covering 15-18 topics and access to the NetMasterClass equipment to complete the lab. Once the lab is completed, you receive the answer key along with the detailed reports including comments on your performance and areas you will want to focus as you continue to study. The reports will supply a grade for the technology categories found in the lab along with detailed explanations of what tasks were performed successfully, as well as what was not performed successfully. Included in the reports are a connectivity report, a post battle snapshot report, and a section-by-section assessment report. CHECKiT Report demo >>

SHOWiT
SHOWiT technology is applied to each CHECKiT lab that allows you to query a repository of over 1 MB of information that is generated by your final configuration. Using ShowiT is like having access to two racks of routers with the CheckiT lab configured on both of them. On one rack is the candidate’s configuration and all associated IOS show command output. On the other rack is the Master Answer Key’s configurations with all of its associated IOS show command output. ShowiT allows the candidate to compare these two sets of output in a split-screen accessible via the web by typing in the appropriate Cisco show command. ShowiT supports over 1500 Cisco show commands in addition to NMC proprietary commands.

Why you need to take CHECKiT prior to your lab
The CCIE® lab costs. In addition to the $1,250.00 lab fee, travel costs, lodging fees as well as time off from work make the expense even greater. If you fail the CCIE® lab multiple times, you might start doubting yourself whether you can ever pass the lab. Ideally, you want to take the CCIE® lab when you are really prepared to take the lab.
Remember, the CCIE® grading is brutal. If you receive a CCIE® lab report containing scores in all categories that possess a value of 79%, you have performed well on the CCIE lab; however, you still have failed and you still get feedback to learn why.
The test does not get any easier on the next attempt or multiple attempts. The only results you receive after taking the CCIE® lab is a single page report listing a set of topics on the exam with an associated percentage value reflecting your degree of successfully fulfilling the task. With this report, you have very little idea of how competent you are in a given subject category. You are left with a vague direction of what to study for your next lab attempt.
With the CHECKiT lab you get the score, the feedback, the ability to compare your work with the Master Anwer Key and detailed explanations in the answer key. You know where you lost points and where to place your study emphasis before you take the real lab.

The Procedure

STEP ONE: Register for your CHECKiT lab and Schedule a lab date.
Take look at the CHECKiT availability page and choose a lab date and time. Then register for your lab though our web-form. You can always contact sales@netmasterclass.net to discuss any questions you may have. You may schedule for your CHECKiT exam in advance; however, you will not receive the scenario at the time of registration. You will receive your CHECKiT lab no earlier than 24 hours before your actual lab date.

STEP TWO: Receive Your CHECKiT Exam
24 hours before you begin your CHECKiT lab, you will receive an electronic copy of your CHECKiT lab exam. We recommend that you print the lab so you have a hardcopy. It is important that you not look at or review your CHECKiT lab until your scheduled exam time to hvae a real lab experience.

STEP THREE: Take Your CHECKiT Lab
Each of 16-18 topic in the 8 hour CHECKiT lab has point values associated with it.
Just as you would be able to do in the actual CCIE® exam, you can prioritize what topics you want to perform first and which you want to perform later. You can make these decisions based upon your level of comfort with a given topic, the dependency of fulfilling the tasks of one or more topics based upon the successful configuration of another topic or set of topics, or the point values associated with a specific topic. Under the time pressure of the CHECKiT lab, you will be able to test both your knowledge of internetworking topics as well as your exam time management and task management skills. When you begin your CHECKiT lab, you will encounter an initial configuration on your rack’s routers and switches. The initial configuration will include items such as hostnames, IP addresses, loopback interfaces. Your Frame-Relay switch, ATM switch and ISDN switch will be preconfigured. You will be supplied with all necessary information from these switches such as ISDN SPID numbers and ISDN dial strings.

STEP FOUR: Receive Your Avalanche of CHECKIT Feedback
Within 24 hours of completing your CHECKiT lab, you will receive an e-mail containing a set of files and web-links from the NMC test administration staff. These files and web-links will provide you with an extensive amount of feedback on the results of your personal performance in the recently completed CHECKiT lab. After review of the answer key, you can submit any questions you have for answers by NetMasterClass CCIE® team.
