I just failed the lab but gained some perspective. First
and foremost, do hands-on labs. Do a lot of them. Do
every one you can. Doing each lab more than once is the
only way to learn it well enough to pass the CCIE lab test.

When you do the labs, have the Cisco CD-ROM loaded. Only
use it! If you can't complete the lab using only the CD,
you need to study more before the next attempt. You should
not even need the CD unless it is the first time you do
the lab.

I do not want to discount reading books, BUT, reading all
the books in the world will not help you if you do not do
a _significant_ number of labs. I would also advise using
a walk-up lab for a couple days as a minimum, i.e., don't
just use labs over the internet. When you think you are
ready, rent a couple days at a university practice lab or
arrange to use the local Cisco lab. It is important.

My 2 cents.
