Hi all,
Seems like NMC is more popular. I actually agreeds to it. Why thinking of IE
mock lab as I'm having workbook with them.
However, Scott had brough an important point on CCIE Assessor. Maybe a
balance of all the mock lab does the trick to exposure of questions, better
feel for the real exam and hence better bet for the real exam.
Appreciates more feedback.
Thanks a lot for all responders and readers too!
Regards,
Ron
