For my passing attempt I did nothing with the routers at all other than
a spot check of one to make sure they had the right configs for my
topology.
Cisco had already placed commands like logging synchronous and no ip
domain-lookup on the devices for me, so I did not even have to worry
about that.
While many here spend a bunch of time up front adding additional
commands and aliases as part of their initial preparation, I just wanted
to point out that you do not have to and you can still pass. I always
worried about time, so I minimized the amount of time spent before
configurations began.
When practicing for the lab, be sure to "start the clock" after you have
placed all the initial configurations on since this will simulate the
lab more accurately.

Shine,
One thing I would add is
logging buffered debugging
so that you can see any messages when you leave and return to the
router.
