In my expereince, it was always better to redraw BGP topology, which helps a
lot to figure out route-refector, confederation, as path calculation, etc.
But you can just sketch BGP drawing while reading the question.( 1 min max)
Also, it is better to write a simple table showing the relation among vlan
names, vlans, two Cat's, and router interface, which helps to figure out
vlans crossing between two cat's. If I keep looking vlan on diagram 1 per
every question to make sure configuring correct router's interface, it is
inefficient and gives me a headache later afternoon.( 5 min max)
Other than that, I agree with Chuck. No need to redraw IGP or F/R.
Only if you have multi-exit IGP redistribution, it will help to find routing
loop issue if you just draw some simple circle with type of IGP protoocl.( 2
min max) At least to me, it really makes me tired to figure out multi-exit
IGP redistribution issue based on original diagram.
Never spend a lot of time on redrawing.
Just my two cents.

Granted it's been over 3 years since I visited the lab, but is
re-drawing the diagrams really necessary? The logical and physical
diagrams Cisco provided seemed to be sufficient. With the 3550 being in
there now with both routing and switching capabilities, I suppose it's
function in the network can get hard to comprehend without an additional
diagram. But that's just one device, not the whole network. You can
take the maps out of the lab book and place them against the wall in the
cube during the lab. That worked for me...

Never use this approach.
If you're accustomed to the lab scenario on book (practical studies) and
the other workbook training material, you should not need this. This is
my personal view.
Putting all the information into single diagram is great idea provided
that you are able to absorb the info on the bulk manner. Mine work on
sub-division better. That way I know when my problem is routing, I'll
just open the routing diagram and check it out.
Cheers, Donny
