Chris,
I beg to differ with Peter on this one. As someone who only sat it once...
my opinion
may not be as weighty, but here goes:
If you're a solid candidate, don't waste your time reading it all through.
Although
it is always a good idea to know what you'll be doing before you do it... in th
e Lab,
where time is a very precious resource, you may not want to invest that resourc
e into
simply reading the requirements more than you have to. I know that cross-sectio
n
dependencies are a possible concern, but no CCIE I spoke to, including yours tr
uly, had
any real ones that would require you to read the entire requirements through.
I did read through when I went, only because that was the advice I had hear
d... but
it took exactly half an hour of my 8-hour time to do it, and in retrospect I do
n't think
it helped me at all! I would still flip through it so you know how much you'll
be doing
and can plan your time a little.
If you do decide to read it, I would certainly not read it twice because no
w we're
talking 1 hour wasted (12.5% of your total time). If I had to do it all over ag
ain, I
would only read or skim (depending on the difficulty) each section when I got t
o it, to
deal with any dependencies within the section.
Good luck.
IMHO,
Jake
