Jeremy got me through my CCNP and if you have not heard of him before you should check out some of his videos.
Simple video with advice on how he studied to pass his ccie lab exam
There is nothing ground breaking here – he just tells you that you need to put the work in on the CLI!
Happy Studying!!

Labs, labs, labs… when I studied for the SP I basically did no theory just pure labs. As I iterated through the full labs I would take notes on things that I got stuck on so I could review them in more detail until I had a good understanding.

After about a month of doing a full scale lab each day of the week (and trying as best as I could to not think about it at all on the weekends so I could spend time with my family) it was a pretty smooth experience.
You are far more prepared having sat it once and knowing what to expect next time than you think. Since my employer covers the cost of 3 attempts each track I basically walked in cold late last year just to see what the lab was like. I felt close, but after doing labs I really started to recognized how many things could have possibly tripped me up.
Anyways, keep going! You’ll get it done! Good luck!
