Yes that's the idea.
I think that people are reading this as if I'm saying this is the only
preparation needed. What I'm saying is that after you have a solid
understanding of the blueprint topics and are ready to move onto the full
scale labs that doing 30 full scale labs by repeating the same 6 labs 5
times each is better for some people than doing 30 totally different full
scale labs.
