First attempt I was very slow - did not use the device based approach, did not 
finish all tasks. Second I was much faster - using the device based approach, 
finished with 3 hours to test. Third attempt I finished with more than 3 hours 
to test and pick up the issues - Passed

My advice:

*         I found the more I practiced the faster I got, practice practice 
practice

*         Use notepad to write all your device configs first, you can copy and 
paste large sections of config saving a lot of time

*         Do not be so strict to the device based approach, use it as a base 
and create your own hybrid

*         You have to setup most devices with little or no prior configuration, 
there are things that cannot change. Know these things and practice them over 
and over so you do not have to think about them

*         Persevere, it's not easy and it sucks most of the time but you will 
get there

Hope this helps

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Lab Exam Speed Strategy

To All,

I took my second attempt on Monday, March 25 and did not pass.
I was hoping for some insight on concrete suggestions to get faster.
I didn't get hung up on any one task, I seemed to keep moving forward and tried 
to type as fast as I could, using CLI shortcuts, etc.
I used the device-based methodology and I feel pretty confident of my technical 
knowledge.
Yet I didn't even get to many tasks at all, I would have needed another 2-3 
hours to complete all tasks.
I hear of candidates completing all tasks in 6-7 hours, which means I would 
need to become twice as fast as my last attempt.
It almost sounds insurmountable. Do I need to take typing classes?

Any recommendations that don't break the NDA would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
