I'd take the lab.... the experience will help you a lot - less pressure for the next 'real' attempt. But then, I wasn't paying.....

[7:73263] Team, Your opinion is always accepted as a good advice...Question if you are at a point where you are running out of time for the lab, what will be more efficient, take the lab (spend $2000[traveling and the lab fees]) or let your written qualifications expired and take it again[spend $300]...

[7:73263] I took the lab recently (before my time ran out) & there is a full day of config to do. Lots of everything & some nice little surprises. A couple of the guys on the same day were caught out by the wording & the way the questions were structured. You have to be able to understand it fully before you start working. Otherwise, it's back to the start & you've wasted an hour. -----Original Message----- From: Reimer, Fred [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 July 2003 14:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: CCIE Lab experience! [7:73263] As far as I understand, the lab is not 2 days anymore. It is only one day. And they don't break things and have you find and fix them. You just have to configure the network correctly and answer some questions. You could pass the lab by just reading books, but you'd have to have a pretty special ability to understand things without actually configuring them on a real router.

[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?
