Well, here is the excellent news!!!!!!
Finally, the written exam blueprint is right in line with the lab blueprint. This makes the approach of studying for your written and your lab at the same time more attractive than ever.
This is what I now recommend for most candidates. It works like this....
They study a topic for the written (let's say WCCP) and gain their Core Knowledge, then they use other materials to gain the Configuration and Troubleshooting skills required. Once they have covered all topics in this manner, they are ready to focus on strategy and psychology for the exam and can start considering our Written Practice Exams and Graded Mock Labs to see where they are at.
The typical candidate ends up passing the written and the lab exam in one to two tries, and these exams are completed within weeks or months of each other.
I hope this helps my friend Nadeem and I look forward to seeing you in class as always.
