RE: Study Plan.

Greg:
I find that you are in the majority on this.
One of the most common questions that I deal with is, how to study for the
lab.

As has been mentioned here, there is not a one size fits all study plan.
There are some "disciplines" that you must make if you want to pass the lab.
You have to set aside a realistic amount of time each day for study. You
need to use that time wisely. Try and plan your study at a time where you
can concentrate on the tasks at hand. There is a simple equation: the more
you study each day the quicker you will be able to meet your goal. Depending
upon how much time you can realistically set aside a week will have an
impact on your timeline.

Another consideration is where to start. How do you use the materials that
you have to your best advantage. That is where your materials vendor comes
into play. They should help you with a solid study plan and help you through
your journey.

A piece of advice that I give all of our students is to study the core
materials / technologies until you know them cold. Be diligent in this
process as it is the FOUNDATION to all of the other studying that you do.

If you would like to have more info to help you put together a study plan
please email me offline.

Thanks

I would like to know as well.  I have passed the written twice for R&S and
have  not felt "ready" to attempt the lab.
Thanks,
Greg

Good afternoon,
I was wondering if anyone had an itinerary of their study plans.  For
example,
an outlook calendar that says work 8-5, 5-6 Eat, 6-12 Gorge on TCP/IP Vol
II,
etc.  With work, working out, dating, commuting, life, just wondering what
successful IE's have done and what other candidates are doing.  Should I
plan
on not dating or working out?  I know some people have wives, children so I
can only imagine it's even more complicated.  I want my digits, any
direction?
Any help/advice is appreciated!
