Hi Rik!
I hope to have a solution in the works! Scott M is Scott4 (aka Scott). As
it stands, "other Scott" has been yours truly in recent months (aka Scott0).
Unfortunately, those are titles Scott Voll and I would be tied for at the
moment. I'm hoping to vacate that role and advance to at least Scott1
sometime in early 2008. Scott2 is under careful consideration. No threat
of ever tying for Scott4, trust you me. In fact, Scott4 could misplace one
of his CCIEs and there would be little or no threat of ever tying at Scott3.
Scott1 or Scott2 will do just fine, thank ya much.
But then again, throwing my lab out to the curb has not yet entirely been
ruled out, at which point I would become Scott(-1).
Ah hell,
Scott(.5)

An interesting view, but look at it a different way....
Some companies (at least IPexpert) has a resit policy. Not that I
advocate using that, but IF circumstances dictate...
Take a bootcamp to absorb information AND to get a week (or two?) away
from the office/normal work in order to concentrate on your studies.
Take the lab when its coming up. If you still happen to not pass it,
retake the bootcamp. You'll gain more from it the second time around
anyway, and have a better perspective for which things you need more
help on.
A lot depends on how much time your company is willing to give in the
long-run.

Back July or August, I scheduled my lab for Feb '08. At the time, I
thought it was a looooong way out. Now I feel like that date is coming
at me like a freight train!
I wouldn't personally waste valuable study time sitting through a
bootcamp unless I could really absorb what was being churned out. So if
you're pretty strong across the board, go for it. But otherwise don't
waste that week or two. Just get started and hope for one shot at the
bootcamp and likewise one shot at the lab!
Regards,
Scott

OK--
I got my Lab test scheduled for May 30, 2008 (holy cow that's a long
ways out).
I'm looking at taking the IPExpert bootcamp and they also offer a
guarantee that if you don't pass you can retake OR take it again before
the test. I'm thinking about taking the bootcamp now.......
study, study, study, then take the bootcamp again before the test.
Any thoughts?
Scott
