Just on that specific point, I suggest you read the post. If you see
one place where I said I am selling lab tests, I shall be delighted
to eat it, perhaps with a bit of Tabasco, at the IETF.

This was a question about how people learn, which is different than
how the test is structured. It's not about me either, and I won't go
into the discussion of my personal CCIE background.
A practice lab is not necessarily an exact simulation of the testing
lab. There are supplemental things that may help. Let me put it
this way: many people fail the lab. You and I might take the lab and
fail it for different reasons. Maybe it's time management for you,
or not knowing the BGP route selection algorithm for me.
In your practice labs, when one finds oneself stuck on a subject, you
don't have to just give up. You could ask for hints that aren't
available in the real lab. You could pull up tutorials. You could
ask for a variant of the scenario that took too long, and run it
through several times in several ways to build speed. These are the
things that no one person can learn.
