Close but no Cigar

Just found out at 1:00 AM this morning that I failed my third attempt at
San Jose. I'm tempted to submit for a reread, but I'm a little discouraged
by that 0.5% statistic. Yesterday's lab seemed easy, I only had to skip 5
points worth of sections and I finished about an hour early. I really
thought that I'd nailed it. I wasn't certain about a 2 point category, but
it turned out that I got it based on my score report, so based off my
point tracking, I should've scored with a 95%. Less than 80% seemed
impossible.

I'm thinking about trying a different workbook. I'm using IPExpert V9
right now, and I don't have the proctor guide. I've been flying through
(most of) those labs, and my configs match the final configs. Nothing
against IPExpert, but I think it would be good to change the scene just a
little. I attended an IPExpert bootcamp with the infamous and extremely
knowledgeable Scott Morris back in November, and I've heard that you're
supposed to use a different Vendor's workbook than the one providing the
bootcamp. I'm considering IE or NM, anyone have any recommendations? I'm
strongly considering IE because it includes the solutions/proctor guide
and they seem to be listing a lot of CCIE's right now.
