I took the lab last December and at that time we where not allowed to use
our own colored pens or pencils. They provide writing meterials to you and you have
to use theres

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.
