GOOD DAY to everybody from Singapore,
 
I'm planning to take LAB exam sometime next year and now i'm at the crossroad and do not know which way to go and I would greatly appriciate your advise especially from those who has taken the exam before. basically,I have few options here:
 
1. Building a complete LAB ( ISDN,ATM,Voice) it is mission-impossible to me as it would cost me $$,$$$
 
2. Builing a moderate LAB ( without ISDN, Voice, ATM, 3550) and rent some LBA on line
It would cost me about 3K and time to collect bits and pieces through EBAY.
 
 
3. Go for a Bootcamp. ( seem to be very expensive 5K for 07 day Training), Someone said " if you think education is expensive, try ignorance" but I do believe there are still way out for those unfortuante like me who do not have big $$$$ to spend.
 
What options do you think would be the best, anybody here can tell me where should I start, which books? .... I passed my Written and had quite considerable expereince with Routing/voiceIP/Frame-Relay...etc but I think if I do not study the Right way I will not be able to pass any exam at all.
 
Thanks in advance
 
Sam
