Ugh, ACLs! That was the only part of my exam where I was nipping badly - my keyboard was double-spacing for some reason, so I couldn't just up-arrow and accurately edit the previous line eg. from permit to deny, so I had to wipe everything and do each line manually.

That was fine once I got going, but when I went to apply my ACL to a specific interface on the router, I typed access-group 101 in - and the command wouldn't work

Blood was hammering in my ears and all I could think about was how I'd let everybody down if I walked out a failure. I knew I couldn't skip the question and come back to it as the exam doesn't allow that, so I looked at the clock and went "Calm down, don't panic - you've got plenty of time and you've done this a thousand times. Close your eyes and see the command...."

And then after 30 seconds or so, realised I'd left out the prefix ip - dummy! I literally shivered with relief once I got it in and it worked!
