The multicast taught in the CCNP course will not even prepare you for the
written, let alone the lab.
I would break out the Wendell Odom Vol 3. CCIE book and the Doc CD and lab
it all up. By the time you are working through a vendor's wookbook, you'll
have enough theoretical knowledge to grasp the harder hands on tasks.

There are lots of switching points cumulatively, but as individual tasks
they are often not worth much.
The problem is if your switching is poor you will screw the rest of the lab.
Probably.
