Very good advice Tony!
Like I tell my CCNP students, "If you can't do the lab how the hell are you
going to do the job!!?!!?"
Just getting the CCIE is not the goal;
The goal is becoming super network engineer #1, who repels all bullsh*t any
idiot who is not a CCIE throws up to look smart at a meeting! Anything less
and you're wasting your time in this career taking crap from some idiot
who's "books are too new to be talking so much".
You are going to feel great when you do get your number it will be worth all
the hard work, the "fails", the labs, the isolation and everything else we
all go through.
Remember, the CCIE is just one step on the road to greatness, not the tape
you run through to finish the race.
Keep going friend; there is a pot of gold waiting, even though the rainbow
just moved again.

First of all, it is good to see you still have it in you to continue. Don't
give up.
Second, just getting through the practice labs multiple times does not gauge
your readiness. You can go through all the practice labs out there till you
can do them with your eyes shut, but if you do not truly understand the
technology and how it functions from the inside out, then your chances of
passing the real lab is low. Maybe just try to lab up individual
technologies and dig deep into them with debugs and try different settings
until you get a comprehensive understanding of each and lay off the practice
labs for a bit or work one or two in occasionally.
Third, it is a lot about interpretation of the requirements. You may be
reading too deep into the questions and making it out to be much more
complicated than it really is and getting yourself into trouble
troubleshooting problems or adding configs that should not be there. Keep
it simple. Only configure what is absolutely needed to satisfy the
requirements without violating the restrictions.
I hope you find your individual study needs.
Good luck.

Dear GS
I had my second attempt this week and didnt make it. After much sacrificed
familiy and personal time it has taken a heavy toll on me. I started this
journey more than 2 years ago. I need some help from you guys.
I have mainly used IE material to study and have been through the 20 labs
more than 3 times. For my third attempt i am not sure what strategy i should
follow.
Should i do the IE labs again? Should i follow a different approach?
I would appreciate any feedback from anyone who has been in the same
position.
CJ
