The Cisco Mock labs is very demanding and helps.
They go 12 hrs every day for 5 days. Covers every thing that can come in
lab.

Can anyone speak to whether taking the Cisco mock labs helps understand
their mindset? It seems like the CCIE is accomplished in two steps: 1.
Learn the material; 2. Learn the exam.
With a few exceptions, secrecy is deeply incompatible with democracy and
with science.
