Right now, I am planning on rescheduling asap. I took the test in RTP, but they don't have any availability until the middle of Feb. It looks like San Jose is open in Jan. I'm not sure how a reread would work for the TS section as it didn't seem that there was much open to interpretation for the TS section. I have a voucher so I may just use that.
Jason..For the most part I did well on the Volume 3 workbooks. Enough so that I felt comfortable enough to attempt the lab. One thing that I don't think that the workbooks adequately prepare you for is the time crunch feeling of the actual test. I think that in hindsight, I would have been more rigid with that portion of it in an attempt to simulate it. I think that might have helped with my time management. It's one of the things I am going to work on in prepping for my next attempt. My primary study resource has been IPE (at least 85-90%), but I do think that you need to see things from other viewpoints. My company had a ton of cisco learning credits that were due to expire so I was able to take one of the Cisco 360 classes, which is where I got the lab voucher. Other than the typical book list, I have also used Ruhann's short notes for review.
