My experience both times has been that it is not how fast you can type
commands, but how fast you can come up with the proper solution. This is
probably also the basis of "you need to know the basics cold". If you spend
a lot of time trying to figure out if you need a neighbor statement here, or
if this should be promiscous or not you are not being fast. Typing speed may
help, but in the larger picture I think it is a matter of just quickly being
able to identify what needs to be done and typing the commands. Not typing
the commands quickly.
The first time I went I spent a lot of time thinking about how to configure
things, and what needs to be done. I did not finish the entire day 1 lab. I
do not believe typing faster would have gotten me anywhere. The last time I
went I was finished with the majority of what needed to be done by noon.
There was only 1 major section that I had not even started and then little
things lying around that I spent the rest of the afternoon looking for in
the docs. I don't believe typing faster would have gotten me any more points
and probably would have made no difference overall except to leave me
sitting there thinking a little while longer.
To be quite honest the lab as a whole is very doable and almost easy
overall. The individual technologies and or configurations are not that out
of the ordinary and not necessarily extrodinary either. At least not to the
extent of some rumors. At least in my opinoin. It is my opinion that the
combination of only being able to miss 20 points and having high point
sections made of of many tasks, some of which are obscure that makes the lab
difficult to pass, not the technology itself.

Subject: How fast is fast?
Since I started preparing for thy lab, I have always remembered one of the
first things I read about the lab: ..it's not just knowing how when and why
to
do something but almost as importantly, how fast you can do the task..
So, I have been speed drilling myself every week, but how fast is fast. My
average time to configure 12 inc AS Server running all protocols (IP +IPX)
running over frame relay, ISDN and VOIP takes me about 40 mins.
My question is... How quick do I have to be - in general - for the lab?
Is my speed drill stuff below par or am I going to far and loosing sight of
the main objective?
Thank You for your thoughts
