Sean,
I know how you feel. Welcome to the club. The list is long and
distinguished. Maybe next time you will get it.
You know there are those moments when you walk out and say I forgot about
that. And there are other problems I spent months looking for the answers.
Every lab exam has taught me something new that is for sure.
As for work books I used NMC because they are excellent. I just love the
Showits that come with the Doits. I love the website and the CCIE roadmap
section that they have. The tech library is really good.
HTH,
Robert

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.
