Thanks a lot Brad, I try to increase my speed.
I try to do some stress mock labs. The good thing is that my wife has a
party in next couple of days, and I can do the lab in this environment.

Also I'm trying to memorize some alias shortcut commands to help increase my
speed.

Regards
Reza Toghraee

Reza,

You should be sure that your speed is getting close to easily doing an 8
hour lab in 6 hours. Leaving 2 hours for troubleshooting, trying to
figure out things you had trouble with, etc, is a good rule of thumb.

You definitely want to nail down any technical weaknesses/gaps within
the next couple weeks. Then you should verify your speed is good. Make
sure you read questions carefully and understand what you're doing. Try
to simulate a stressful situation while you are going through a practice
lab (I'm not kidding). Try to work through distractions as well as there
will be people moving about the CCIE lab, phones ringing, people
talking, etc. It's good to get used to that environment.

We have a new R&S lab workbook which was just updated that might not be
a bad thing for you to do.

thanks,

Subject: Please advise, I have 1 month to LAB

Hello

I need all of you people who already done this way to advise me.
Especially
the great instructors in the group.
I have 1 month to the LAB, it's my first attempt. I already got a leave
from
my job, so I have full 1 month to be prepared.

I have too much stress!

Since 2 months ago, I increased my study times, to around 6 to 8 hours
per
day.

I reviewed all the IE COD as my second time, I wrote all the tips, and I
try
to read them randomly.

I done the IE WB VOL1, 2 times, I know that I still have some gaps on
QOS,
especially on 3550, 3560 QOS.

I'm still doing the IE VOL2 labs, I done till LAB 16. I do it slowly, I
try
to solve myself and whenever I learn anything new, I write it down and
then
I attach on the wall of my room, at the moment there are lots of papers
on
my wall, and every day I read them to memorize.

I have the printed version of 3560 docs, I already read most of the
chapters
and I did my notes.

I know I have gaps in QOS, Multicast, I don't want to get lost in
multicast
in the LAB, sometimes I spend a lot of time for doing the multicast

what I have in my library :
1) Doyell books
2) R&S exam certi guide (odom)
3) QOS exam cert guide (odom) (I didn't read)
4) many printed documents about QOS, Multicast which I got from a good
friend. (just organized, not read yet)

I donno, I have to continue doing the labs, or stop, just read, or IE
COD,
or Narbik?? I'm not familiar with Narbik.
I plan to do IE mock labs on every Thursday .

Please kindly Advise.

Thanks
Reza Toghraee
