Getting down to the wire for my lab attempt (22 days to go!) I’ve been horrible about blogging my progress, but I’m going to try to be more consistent in the home stretch. Overall I think I’m in good shape, but I really need to focus over the next 3 weeks to be completely ready.
Plans for this week:
- IE just released their first v.5 full labs (lab 1 and lab 10). I’ll probably skip Lab 1, since it’s only a level 5 and I’ve already watched the live Lab Meetup, but I’ll definitely be hitting lab 10 since it’s an 8.
- I have IE rack rentals Tue-Thu. My goal is to hit two full IE labs (v.5 lab 10 and probably v.4 lab 7)
- IPexpert rack rentals Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon. I want to get some solid lab hours in before the Christmas break. Haven’t picked a set of labs yet, but at least book 3, labs 9 and 10.
- I may try to pay for another IE mock lab during my current Christmas break. My lab 4 attempt went pretty well (77, with a couple of sections I disagreed with the proctor on).
- Reading:
- Finish the QoS self-study book
- Start the Cisco Press multicast and IPv6 books
- IE workbook 1 v.5 solution guides. These are terrific for individual technology focus.
