Paul,
Like you said, everyone has different learning pattern and various
networking background. But, ere is my take on the CCIE preparation:
First off, the candidate should have a couple of years real life hands-on
networking experience, at least, 2 years is minimum.
It took me 2 and a half years of time in total to study, practice and get
my number, during which I booked about 750 hours of lab time.
At the same time, I also spent lots of hours reading a large variety of
books and references, which has summed up to about 1250 hours.
CCO is the place I frequent, and I have almost read all the documents on
it. Under the IOS 12.1 section, I just went over it page by page a couple
of times.
Over the course, I have collected and studied the books that are most
helpful and recommended for CCIE preparation:
