You can do it, not its un efficient way.
You can read cover to cover books, and use dynamips to lab it up. Also you
can use the CCIE PRACTICAL STUDIES Vol1,2 which are the official Cisco books
for CCIE, they are full of testing labs. (I have these books, I already read
them).
One of my friends, didn't use any workbooks, mock labs, she failed 2 times,
then she attend a bootcamp and then passed in 3rd attempt.
So she spent 2*1500$ + X$ bootcamp, but maybe she could got her number using
workbooks cheaper.
But keep in mind, using only workbooks, labing up is not enough. You must
read lots of cisco Docs (excluding books).

Good luck.

Subject: CCIE, i wish to take a different path !

Hi all, first of all i mean no disrespect to the gurus who are helping CCIEs
a
lot, namely IE, IPexpert, Narbik and others,
mostly when i read the success stories, one point is present in all of them,
x
months configuring the routers using x vendors workbooks, i just want to
know
something very simple, can some one pass the lab without these workbooks ?
can
someone suggest me a path that i shall take if i dont want to use any of the
vendors ? right now i think getting CCIE is not a challenge any more, no
offense, but thats the truth, look around and you will see a hell lot
increase
in the production of CCIE as never seen before, i know more and more ppl are
inclined towards it but i think the real challenge is to take the lab
without
using any of the workbooks, ( again no offense to the latest CCIEs, i
respect
them all :-) ),
 
Is there anyone who took the lab without using any vendors, can he/she shed
some light on his/her preparation ??
 
Thanks
