I have to slightly disagree. CCIE is a test, pure and simple. It actually doesn't
relate much at all to real world experience. When would you rush like a maniac to
build a superfluously complex network in 12 hours with only limited guidelines and
then have it maliciously tampered with while you eat lunch only to come back and fix
it in 4 hours? CCIE is all about knowing the intricacies of protocols and Cisco's
implementation of them and being able to efficiently configure and troubleshoot them
under immense pressure (mostly from not wanting to come back and do it again).
What Henry is missing is pure hands on router time. You simply have to practise your
configuration routine for the basics over and over until you do it in your sleep.
(this is true actually, you'll know your ready when you dream about IOS and have
nightmares about routes missing from your table when everything looks right in the
config) Rack time at ccbootcamp or similar might fill in the blanks here.
