I can say that finishing in 5.5 to 6 hours is absolutely doable. I was done
30 minutes after lunch. Now that you've attempted this thing, you know
exactly what took up all your time and what weaknesses were uncovered.
Your best bet is to focus on those areas that you feel cost you a lot of
time and get your speed up on those. Also, knowing the doco CD very well
will save you time when you're not 100% sure of something. I can remember
one area that I wasn't sure if a particular timer was supposed to be higher
or lower but I knew exactly where it was discussed on CD. The total time it
took me to find the variable I wanted was about 30 seconds. Wasted time? No.
Because this was one less thing I had to check later one because I knew that
I had nailed it.
I believe the key is to not loose focus of the end goal and prepare for
round two. Even though I was fortunate to pass the R&S on my first try,
I'm feel as if I'm at the bottom of a mountain looking up when it compares
to tackling the CCIE Security lab. Maintain focus and the goal will be
yours

Subject: Failed the Lab at Bangalore --1 st time
Hello everybody ,
This is Kris.I am slowly recovering from the setback.I failed the lab this
saturday at Bangalore.
Though the lab was pretty much doable , I lost out because of inefficient
time management.I never had time to recheck everything
in totality.Having said that , there are certain topics in which I had
scored much less than I had expected.I am pretty sure I did
the right way.Dont know just yet what went wrong there.
I would like to thank the group members for the wonderful posts .People
like Brian Dennis,Magahan,Tim Fletcher,Donny,Alex,Mas and many others who I
may have left out.
I will continue to hang around here till the ordeal is over.Please advise me
on how to plan the lab so as to finish it in 5 1/2 to 6 hours.?
Is this a realistic expectation at all ?
My suggestion to first timers .... Keep your Cool and take it easy.
I am looking at taking it again in Mid October .I live in Bangalore .So if
there are people in Bangalore/Chennai
studying for the lab ,we may form a study group ,rack together and share
thoughts.
Cheers,
Kris.
