Go CCIE Go!! - A Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert

During my last two months of practice, I redid all the IE 8 hour labs and all the core technology labs. I did them like Scott Morris has described. I did them like I was in the real exam.
At the day of the real exam, I knew that time was not an issue to me because I had worked on my speed so much that I was able to finish the 8 hour lab in 4 hours. And indeed, I finished the real exam within 5 hours, which allows me to double check my solution more than twice.
Hope this helps. Have a MERRY CHRISMAS.
