The short answer is that you are way too early in your studies to be
concerning yourself with process quite yet. :)
Practice first, you'll find things in general speed up as a result of your
experience/confidence. The more you work on the different protocols and
inane details, the more they will stick in your memory.
Another thing you can do is take a bootcamp. Whether from the folks you
have the practice labs from, or another vendor, you can use that you enhance
your level of experience, have a highly experienced person to work with you
on your readiness, and get lots of details about process closer to a time
that you can truly benefit from them.
I don't mean to sound crass or anything, but starting your training one
month ago seems a little soon for the finishing touches. ;)
In general though, use your practice labs as a starting point. Use your own
mind to make things different, then prove (in lab) whether that will work or
not. The method of proof will add to your experience and process.

Subject: Study Tactics
All Router and Switch gods,
I have started my CCIE training about a month ago and i'm trying to tackle
the topics as the OSI flows, for instance:
Skipping Physical layer
My first month would be Frame/Switching/DOT1Q Tunneling My second would be
IPV6/Advanced IPv4 and IPv4 routing .. etc etc
So i'm into my first month and i have taken all IE Frame and Switching
advanced labs and have bookmarked and highlighted overview documents on the
subjects in question. Now i'm at a loss. I have been doing
Spanning-Tree/Frame for years but knowing the "one-off"
technologies (Storm Control) or Job Specific technologies (Like Dot1q
tunneling would only probably be seen in decent side carrier/service
providers) and knowing the material to the level the lab suggests leaves me
in need for a methodical way to approach a topic, be proficient enough to
pass with lab and move on to a new technology.
My question is. Once you think you have a good fundamental knowledge of a
topic what do you use to drill down and get to the intricate level that you
need for the exam? And more important, when do you know when to move to the
next topic. Any process or study tips would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Nate
