I am now in possession of the two of the big three IE training companies workbooks and am working on getting the third. I have done a cursory glance through them and will be starting to run through them over the next couple of weeks.
I understand that the groups preparing these docs have to cater to a wide audience, particularly as there is no prerequisite to have R&S knocked out. But seeing as lots of the material in the beginning is fairly basic relative to the R&S, I will review, but generally skip it.
First up is the IP Expert Service Provider Workbook and Proctor Guide. I am skipping through the first couple of chapters and jumping straight to the OSPF section for "Core Routing Protocols".
Cheers,
Route Target

Busy Week in Review
Study, Study & Panic?
Less than eight weeks out already, could it be that soon? Alas it is, but I have a plan... Not to be confused with having a flag. Also on a better note, I have been reviewing CCIE Dreamer's blog and glad that I am not the only person who has decided to go down the SP path after already having R&S knocked out.
A word on Support, and I don't mean the TAC...
For those of you who are done with all forms of school and are not married, I don't want to hear a peep from you about not having enough time to study. For those of us who are married/decided to go back to school/raising kids or otherwise have family commitments will understand my jubilation at my next remark. My wife has agreed to me becoming the invisible husband for the next two months. I told friends after I passed the R&S and it will be so this time as well, while it is possible to accomplish a CCIE of any track without support from work, I have yet to see a married man or woman who did not have some support from their spouse in accomplishing getting their digits. That being said, I know several people working on getting either their first or additional IE's and each has said the same thing independently, so there has to be some level of truth to it.
Back to the Plan...
I see it as having about five good weekends in addition to evening studies to get the inconsistencies corrected in my mental database. I think that I am about at the 1st Normalized form now.
