Passing the CCIE Lab Exam is one of the most difficult tasks any network professional will face in their career. Statistics indicate that only one in three candidates pass the exam on their first... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I passed the Lab and I strongly strongly recommend this book. It gives you a very adequate coverage of topics on the real lab and, by the way, you don't have to much choices. As far as I know this is the only available book with realistic Lab scenarious on the market. ccbootcamp is another good source, but it's much more expensive and it provides you just scenarious without almost any comments. I agree that this book has some obsolete stuff as DECnet. Just ignore it. As of today it includes also even the most recent technologies as Voice-over-IP and VPNs, which is much more important. I also found a few minor mistakes in commands, but when I checked full config listings in the end of chapter they were fixed there. Looks like this full configs were copied from real routers and they are correct. Yes, this book can't replace all this tons of books you have to read. It can't give you a deep knowledge of internetworking, but it can very significantly improve your chances to pass. You'll know what kind of tasks and equipment to expect and in a very stressfull environment it's a huge plus.

The book is great it has five very detailed lab exams. Just what a candidate needs to practice for the two day hands on lab. I have taken the exam twice, so I can tell you the authors were right on with the title of the first chapter "As close as you can get".
Scenarios in the book are very close

This book is great for anyone studying for the hands on lab. The 5 practices tests are very detailed. This is my second attempt at the lab, so I can tell you the scenarios in the book are very close. I only wish I had this the first time.
These guys really hit the mark with this book

I just received this book and I am amazed at the detail and realism of these labs. This book along with the authors first book, the CCIE Lab Study Guide, pack a powerful 1-2 punch. This book contains 5 very accurate and detailed CCIE lab tests. The questions and labs are designed to be as close as possible to the actual labs. GOOD WORK !!!!
