Here are a few common scenarios that i have seen.

Scenario 1:
You plan and set a target date for scheduling your CCIE lab and start
studying very hard. As you approach your target date, you realize that you
are not fully prepared and so you postpone scheduling the CCIE lab. After
doing this a couple of times you stop trying.
The problem in this scenario is that your target date is not planned well.
Either the date is too aggressive or you are not able to devote as much time
for studying. Both of these are non-technical reasons that we will tackle in
this book.


Scenario 2:
You start preparing after reading the Lab blueprint. The sheer number
of books you have to read tells you that this is difficult. After reading three
or four books you realize that you have already started to forget things from
the first book. When this happens, you may get overwhelmed and stop
studying altogether.
The problem in this scenario is that you need to change the way you
prepare and study for the CCIE Lab. You need to be very specific about what
training resources to use, and how to use them. This is another nontechnical
aspect. We will give you guidelines on how to maximize your
studying efficiency later on in this book.


Scenario 3:
For your specific CCIE track you may purchase training lab books which
may have 20, 30 or even 40 labs to choose from. You setup the lab using
simulators; for example DYNAMIPS or GNS3 to practice with. You soon
realize that although you know the answers, you still do not understand
why a particular task was completed in a specific manner. As you complete
more and more of these labs you recognize there are many gaps in your
knowledge and you have to start fresh by reading up on technologies. This
may cause you to postpone or give up on your CCIE quest.

The problem in this scenario is that the candidate has many gaps in his
or her knowledge. By jumping into the labs without proper planning and
preparation, the labs become more daunting. This book addresses the
gradual step-by-step processes you should follow in order to succeed and
understand the lab.


Scenario 4:
You are a great engineer and are on top of your game. Because of this,
you are always busy and have many responsibilities. This leaves you with
very little time for studying. You can spare two or three weeks max so you
decide to take a one week CCIE boot camp from a leading training provider
and schedule your lab two weeks after that. After completing the course,
you realize that you need much more time to study, a luxury you don’t find
yourself having.
In this scenario, scheduling and planning study time while having a full
time job is the roadblock, and we tell you how to get around that, and share
our own stories.
