So I have passed the CCIE R&S written exam and have been studying pretty heavily for the lab. I was wondering if there are other CCIEs around that can offer some insight into how you all studied to prepare yourself for the lab. How many hours per week did you study, how did you know you were ready, etc... I know what I need to study I am just looking for some tips on how to study. I do know that Cisco is going to announce the version 5 blueprint any time now and some things will change. FYI I have a home lab with 9 routers, 1841s and 2811s, as well as 4 3560s. Thanks for any input.
