RE: How to prepare for my August lab?

Narbik,

Can you backup why you wouldn't recommend taking a graded lab? You don't find any value in seeing how someone else grades your work? I found I would give myself credit where credit wasn't always due because it was close enough. If you're really ready to take the exam, a mock lab might be a real confidence booster or it might be a wake up call.

Joe,

I'm pretty sure the free graded lab comes with the required rack time, the entire process for me was free.

Craig,

Which boot camp did you attend? The reason i ask is because i like to know
if you have the latest work books.

But if you still don't feel 100 percent, then, what i recommend is
purchasing another work book from another vendor like INE or IPexpert and do
some of their labs so you can see it from another perspective, look mate the
idea is to get those 5 digits and you should do what ever it takes.

I don't recommend purchasing graded labs, but i would recommend getting
another work book and going through the labs, may be that will give you the
confidence that you are looking for.

But if you fail for what ever weird reason, then remember that failure is
part of success, you just pick up and and try harder, retake my new boot
camp which is a combination of my 2.0 and Cisco's 360 program, which i
believe is by far the BEST program out there.

hey..let me know if you need any help.
