The Workbook from Internetwork Expert gives you 20 labs that look,
feel, smell, taste just like the real thing!
You have a link on the desktop to the DOC CD. You also have individual
links to each device.
Feel free to bring snacks and your own colored pencils. You can also
bring a penny and place it on each device in the diagram as you
configure the device - this way you will not forget where you
are.....the proctors at RTP are nice if you are very nice to them.

Most believe this to be so for a pass - I do as well.

You must know where to find things in the docs VERY quickly. For
example - can you find in 30 seconds or less how you set an RMON
alarm? You should be able to.

Sure - but I am not enduring that - I am happy with knowing how to
find them all quickly.

Excellent - this is needed - or you need to rent equipment - I
recommend InternetowrkExpert for rentals.

This is what you need practice labs for - for sure. All of these
topics are certainly going to face you!

The average for passing is in 2.5 attempts. Obviously - if you think
you will give up after a first time failure - then I do not think you
should waste your money.
