If I personally was going to take a test and I saw a lot of people saying
they used a certain "method" to prepare that enabled them to pass the
first time around I surely would at least look into using that "method".
Of course we know that not all methods work for all people so I may take
this certain method and modify it to fit my learning style.
As a side note a new highly successful approach that we (Internetwork
Expert) are recommending to certain candidates is taking only 5 or 6 full
scale labs but doing them 4 or 5 times each. Then during the last week or
two before the real lab taking 2 or 3 additional full scale labs and doing
them once or twice each. This approach should get you to the point where
you can do any of the 5 or 6 labs within 4 hours and be able to complete
the additional 2 or 3 labs within 5 to 5.5 hours. You would be amazed at
the amount you can learn by doing a lab more than once. Plus one of the
big benefits with this approach is that you gain speed and accuracy
(accuracy = correct configuration the first time around) which is
important in passing the lab.
