Re: I failed sp lab

I kind of disagree with some of you guys, work books should be designed
to teach the students, if a work book does NOT teach the students the
technologies, then there is a problem with that work book. BTW, i am NOT
referring to INE or IPexpert's work books at all since i have NOT seen any
of them and i am sure they are GR8.

When you start the CCIE journey, you are pretty much at a CCNP + level, and
you go through few work books that teach you the implementation of different
technologies, the features of a given protocol, and etc........, if this is
missing in a work book, then i would say you are using the wrong work book.

When you are preperring for the written, you read few books and try to learn
the thoery aspect of this cert, but when you are going for the lab, you need
a book that teaches you the theory from the commands perspective.

If a book does NOT teach you BUNCH of stuff, then, why buy a book?

CCIE Happy, this is my recommendation:

Take the blueprint and go through it one item at a time.
Stick to one vendor, every vendor has a road map, stick to their road map,
don't jump around. Thier work book is a good indication of their classes and
philosophy.
Get a work book that covers the technologies in the blueprint. This work
book should have full explanations and walk throughs, don't buy a book that
gives you the task and then gives you the answers.
Try to attend a boot camp (If you can), most of the vendors cover more in
their boot camp.
Once you can answer all of *your* questions, you are ready for the lab.
