I agree Joe , that is my liking is the timed labs , I think they are
great . And I have done x2 of the IE labs so far and the lab itself is
stimulating / great and learning new things , but I get stuck between
a rock and a hard place say on the finite details of a particual
feature and look forward / need the details for example like Petr
gives in his awsome posts on the blog for example I got NTP
authentication wrong and didn't learn about it in the mock lab
solution as they didnt talk about it all I got was the correct config
commands , I had to go elsewhere to understand why I got it wrong
after viewing the configs.. Just the mock labs I have done so far eg.
Netmasters were very detailed into why you got something wrong and
that was very helpful in learning , so I started doing the IE ones
also cause I like the timed labs vs do them yourself at home one's ,
but didn't get the details so wasn't 100% sure on why I got something
wrong .. So now I have to spend a few days reasearching and making
best guesses as to why the mechanics are wrong so I don't do that
again...
