Don't postpone it - you have a date for it now, so push yourself hard and
make it happen... my timeline looked something like this:
July 4 2004 - Decide to do CCIE certification
July 16 2004 - Sit written exam
July 17 - August 25 2004 - Study LOTS
August 26 2004 - Sit lab exam.
End to end in 6 weeks, and at the end of it all I needed to catch up on a
lot of lost sleep.
My advice to you ?
* Read lots- UNDERSTAND THE TECHNOLOGIES AND NOT JUST THE LINES OF CONFIG !!
* Spend as much time working in the online practice labs as possible - I
used InternetworkExpert and RackTimeRentals - both were superb. Make sure
that the stuff you KNOW is going to be in the lab (ATM, ISDN, Ethernet, VTP,
OSPF, BGP) is fast, correct, and second nature to you.
* Stalk the following people: Brian McGahan, Brian Dennis, Scott Morris
* Read everything on the ccielab list until your eyes hurt
* Don't stress yourself out - it's just working against yourself
* On the day of the exam, clear thinking is your friend.
* Spend some more time in the online practice labs
* Don't lose focus - ANYTHING is possible, it all just depends on how badly
you want it.
HTH ;P
