I have been using the CCBOOTCAMP lab workbook volume 7. It's very good.
Night and day better than volume 6. It has really good questions and good
solutions.

Hi,
Often, i think the question of vendor workbooks is asked the other way
round. too much focus is placed on so and so workbook. however, i
think the best materials are those whose teaching style matches your
learning technique. All the vendors mentioned here are all good but
what about you? how do you learn? do u prefer to do most of the work
yourself or prefer a more defined step by step approach? Do you prefer
digging into full scale labs or prefer going through the mini-labs
until you are confident enough with all the technologies?
In my case, i used IE materials coz the numerous mini-labs helped me
learn the technologies slowly and i'd try all different ways of
configuring something, say like L2L VPN before moving on to something
else. Does this mean that IE workbook is better then IPX. No. But
because of my learning technique, i preferred IE. My choice had more
to do with me, than the vendor. Bobby commented that he hated the
numerous mini-labs on IE workbook, and preferred the mock-labs on IPX.
well, that is his style of learning, but is it yours? I found the
full-length labs very very demanding and quite frankly did not do more
than 5 or so full-length labs but spent tons and tons of time working
on the mini-labs and coming up with my own.
i passed on my second attempt. i'm no genius but i think it is
important 4 u 2 stay true to yourself. don't adjust to a vendor, pick
one that comes closest to your learning techniques.
