Narbik,
I agree that just falling into the Mock Lab approach alone doesn't
work. I did almost strictly mock labs from two different vendors and it
lead me to two failures. I have taken to adding my own additions to
Mock Labs, at the end of each one, I try and add another challange or
technology. I had to switch to a different vendor just because I had
the ones from the first vendors memorized.
Sincerely,
Bill
