As others have already mentioned, this is not a great idea. Here's a
real life example -- mine:

It took me 3 months go through, from beginning to end, the workbooks I
received as part of Narbik's R&S boot camp. 3 months! And I was
working part time, putting in lots and lots of dedicated study time.
When you consider that Narbik's recommendation is that you go through
the material _at least twice_, you can see how you could strike
trouble if you realised you had a lot of catching up to do.

However, everyone is at different levels, and you may be a lot closer
to being ready than I was. But no matter how comfortable you are with
the content, it still takes time to get through it.

It's a bit of a luxury, but I can't fault the recommended approach
most vendors have of:

1. attend boot camp
2. go through recommended study material
3. attend boot camp again
4. lab attempt
5. do "The Joe Astorino Liquor Store Shuffle" (or prune juice;
whatever takes your fancy)

Good luck.

cheers,
Dale
