Hi Shane,
I agree with the comments about I P E x p e r t 's scenarios being very good.
However, with regard to the e-scenarios, beware of the following:
a) they are riddled with typo's,
b) In many of the e-scenarios, the solution configs don't completely follow
from the lab instructions
c) The section "Instructors comments and Technical Tips" are very light on
both comments and tips - I found that far more often than not, if I didn't
understand why something should be configured as was shown in the solution
configs, this section didn't clear up the issues or confusion.
d) The I P E x p e r t support site, Certification Talk .com, for the
e-scenarios
didn't often provide useful or timely support.
As a consequence of the above, if you decide to purchase the e-scenarios, be
prepared to endure a great deal of frustration and wasted time.
Also, be aware that my comments only apply to I P E x p e r t 's e-scenarios
version
3.1 and not to the practice labs in I P E x p e r t 's Workbook product. I
haven't
yet done any of the workbook labs and so I can't comment on those from
personal experience. I do, however, get the sense from comments I've seen
here on Group Study that most people overall think highly of the workbook
product.
