there is no fix answer to your question but I think it can definitely be done. My cousin took 4 months off from work to work on his CCIE Security lab exam and he just passed the lab a couple weeks ago on his first attempt. He has his own rack and he spent about 14 hours a day on the rack. In other words, he eats and sleep with the rack. So, to answer your question. yes it CAN be done. That being said, I think my cousin is a pretty smart person. He got a master degree in Computer Science. Even though he has no practicall hand-on experience, he did not have problem passing the lab because I think the lab is written for people with engineering discplines. People with engineering background can read and decode the requirements properly. But that's my 2c. |
