liyinghao和我已经连续2周多在想办法约CCIE lab考试了，今天忽然看到了可以约5月18日的考试，只有2天的时间准备，我最终没有勇气选择预约这样的时间。 不知道为什么，最近的CCIE lab考试如此的火爆，似乎大家都拼了命一样去考LAB一样。我也该抓紧时间努力了，少想一些事情，让自己的生活简单一些吧，比如少些刚才些的那样的莫名其妙伤感的文章……

Hi
I want to take the CCIE but no idea the first step.
Please let me know
1. written ? testking enough ?
2. lab ? i need to buy the equipment ?
thanks
Personally, I suggest everyone who wants to be a real CCIE should make more general consideration.
1. Working experience: Cisco recommends one has at least 3 – 5 years experience in networking before attempting to become a CCIE. That means at least 1000 hours operating experience.
2. it’s only a hard working way to become a real CCIE, you have to spend lots of time (for me, about 15 months), thousands of $ for learning, practice and exam fee (at least $300+$1250, for me it’s $300+2*$1250 ). Although there do have someone who know nothing about network, they passed the lab just by following brain dumps, we called them as ‘paper CCIE’. If I were you, I’ll try my best to be a real CCIE; ‘paper CCIE’ means nothing but a good memorizer.
3. Which track? There are now 5 tracks for CCIE: Routing and Switching, Security, Service Provider, Voice, Storage. http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/track_comparison/index.html you may read this for more info. I choose R&S for my first try because one of my daily jobs is maintain and optimize campus network, the technologies I experience everyday are almost similar with R&S exam blueprint. You can make your own choice for your own reason
You have made your first step—having an idea to become a CCIE, think more and make a decision. We can discuss for more details later then.
