This is something I focused on as a critical issue in my last month of study.
If something isn't required for connectivity, and I can't do it 90% or more
off the top of my head, I write "skip" and move on. Even on "core"
technologies, there are a lot of non-core things. If you're setting up vlans
and they ask you to make sure that a specific vlan never traverses a given
trunk, or uses it as backup only, that's not a core task. If the solution
and/or syntax doesn't jump out at you, either give yourself 5 minutes or just
skip it.
The Brians have a great Class-on-demand about lab preparation that goes into
all of this. After learning the technology, which is hard, it would be a
shame to miss the cutoff because of time management, which is comparatively
easy. My co-worker (R&S CCIE) took it a step further by telling me when I was
having trouble with redistribution that I had to be prepared to use statics in
an emergency. Miss the points, get the connectivity, move on and hopefully
come back and un-butcher.
