Hi Adel,
Yea for sure your specific experience may have helped you alot.
Practically speaking, you are quick because you may have seen the
problems described in the workbooks before due to your specific
experience.
In my case, most of the time the IE Labs left me wondering what should
i do because i didn't had a clue, then i kept researching which took
most of my time even days. Furthermore, the Dynamips also took some of
my time when i was using windows xp in the start, and was expecting it
to work on full load until i switched to linux.
Congrats again on attaining the ccie.
