I think that you should take each protocol to pieces and learn the ins and
outs of each protocol separately, once you know all the protocols in the
blueprint, then, you should do maybe 5 to 10 labs (Mock labs) and then try
the actual lab.
If you have not done the protocol specific labs, you have not learned the
concepts and the behavior of these individual protocols, but if you just
focus on the mock labs and do them few times, you have done nothing but
memorized that particular mock lab.
If you do it this way, you will understand each protocol and as a result of
that, you will increase the chances of passing the lab. When you tackle the
individual protocols, you also increase your guessing power, you increase
your understanding as to what is it that they are asking you.
Remember that if you pass on the first go, it does not mean that you are
that much better than the other guy who passed it on his/her third go.
My 2 cents
