Hey Jason, Honestly, everybody has their own style and method, but I can tell you what was successful for me. When I was a student, I got my BLS and sat down every single night I could and watched as many of the VoDs as I could handle and still take everything in. I went through every single video taking notes before I ever started the labs. There are some videos strictly showing configuration, and sometimes I would follow along on my home rack of gear.
After watching every video, taking notes, and doing some reading, I began volume 1. I worked straight through volume 1 , volume 2, volume 3 in order and that worked out quite well for me. To finish things up, I attended an IPexpert bootcamp before my lab. I was fortunate enough to pass on the first go using the above method, alot of practice, and dedication so I know it works. I believe that if you follow a similar path, and you put the effort in you will reap the rewards. Best of luck on your journey, and let us know if we can help you more along the way : ) On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 12:29 AM, Jason Leblanc <[email protected]>wrote: > I purchased the BLS out of pocket recently and was wondering if anyone has > a best practice on using it.
