Re: Can a normal person pass RS LAB ?

I am looking at this from the statistical point of view. So low passing rate does not look very passable for me. I do not know any other degree or certification with so low passing rate. What then exactly all those who do not pass are doing wrong? There must be a identifiable reason for that. I do not think that all those who do not pass are not well prepared or did not study hard enough?

Well,

I passed it. I do have some 15 years of NETWORKING experience, but I
become instructer only recently. In that regard, I consider myself an
expert, but still very much a mere mortal.

CCIE is an expert-level exam. When you go to the lab, you are expected
to be subject-matter expert. It is very complex, very difficult, but
perfectly doable.

Yes, if you do this you will pass. It's a perfectly passable test.
