Back when I studied for the lab, which was a little over two years ago, I
used the DOC CD for about 95% of my studies. Mainly because I knew it was
going to be my only source of information during the lab and I wanted to be
able to use it if needed.
Now, a little has changed in the past two years, but all of the new material
can still be found on the DOC CD.
It is not the best training material, but that is not what is is meant to be
as stated. It is probably a little hard to understand at times, but it is
possible to pass the lab with it as your main resource.

Tim,
Your rephrased statement is totally different from your prior
statement. Documentation CD is not developed for or claimed to be
CCIE exam study guide by cisco.
