The differentiator is the level of understanding that you have, not any
particular workbook. When you break things down, everyone has pretty much
the same topic suite, just different arrangements of it!
Different people think in different ways, but the bottom line is that you
either understand how things work and have had lots of practice, or you
don't!
On a side note, if you wait until you "feel" ready, you'll never go for the
lab! :)
So ask yourself on the labs you've done so far, do the details make sense
without looking at answers? Can you understand what the router is thinking
when you make command choices, and what the changes will be when you enter
any particular command?
That "think like the router" (my phrase) or "spot the issues" (Bruce
Caslow's phrase, along with "golden moment") is really the trigger, or light
bulb to know whether you are understanding appropriately!
And don't forget that nobody will know everything. Don't be afraid of what
you don't know, just know where to look it up!

Hi
There are a lot of practice labs available for the lab from different
vendors..
Lets say i have practiced 10 labs that are complex & say im confident,then
how to determine if my 11th one has to be the real lab / another practice
lab
Whats the main take away with the practice labs ?
Is it the practice in number of practice labs/ complexity in topology/ types
of questions asked ?
Cos i sometimes read that a person passed lab in first attempt & he read
books + a specific vendor material....
Then whats the differentiator in the real lab that puts many people down
though they had many workbooks to practice with them ?
Thanks
Ananth
