I just can't see it happening (pass the CCIE lab with only reading books). I'm a CCNP/CCDP with a good, solid three years of hands-on Cisco experience under my belt and can't believe what I've learned by being able to actually configure and troubleshoot the equipment. There's no way that I could get that from just reading books. And I still don't feel prepared to tackle the CCIE lab yet!
If you can't afford your own equipment, see if you can find a study group in your area. Most times, many members of the group already have all the equipment and you can work on scenarios together. Or, you can actually rent rack time very cheaply now if you want some hands-on practice.

[7:73263] Hi there, I have finished my CCNP exam. Well, I live in Sydney, Australia and I still could not find job. I wish to carry on with CCIE. I do not have problem with passing writing CCIE exam, but what about practical exam of 2 days duration. I have found some programs on the net. But is it enough to pass without practice. I have passed my CCNP by only reading books and downloading simulation programs. Can somebody give me advice whether I could carry on without real hand on experince? Is there some way to volonteer to work for free? Is there some way to get free CCIE Lab experience?
