Re: One Misconception about lab

For the many "lurkers" of GroupStudy that might not have weighed in on
this debate, but that are now thoroughly confused, please remember this:

There are many, many different and perfectly valid approaches to
passing the CCIE Lab Exam from an overall lab exam strategy perspective.

Brian McGahan and I both passed Route/Switch, but I know for a fact we
did many things differently from a strategy perspective.

Find your own personal strategy that works best for you personally.
You discover this through learning and practice.

Warmest Regards,
