When to use Virtual Labs?

---

Hey guys,

First off merry Christmas.

Just a question regarding the virtual labs, when doing a a course, when do you attend to the corresponding virtual lab exercises? Is there a prompt or should you try and work through those separately? Are they chronologically ordered according to the content of the course (usually)?

Thank you.

So I am new around here, but I can tell you what I have been doing...

When I am watching a show, I noticed the Edutainers will mention the Hands on Labs (if the show includes them).

I will then watch an episode (sometimes twice) and take all my notes.

I will then check out the labs and do a CONTROL+F on the labs page to search for a keyword. For example "STP". I then perform the STP lab or labs that I discover.

I am sure our Edutainers often reference specific labs in Episodes, but I have not come across that yet since the shows I have been watching, the Edutainers actually teach you how to construct your own home lab.

Hope this helps!

@Lodewyk-Johannes-Roos,

If we follow the lab guides through, you can watch and pause as we proceed through the steps. But sometimes, I will probably say that we use it as a value-add to the itprotv subscription. So that you know you can do the same labs as we showed or so that you can use it as a Sandbox experience to test concepts.

In some shows, they may be chronologically ordered but I cannot say that is necessarily so. That will depend on the show and how that show was developed.

In terms of preparing for the exam(s), I've always set aside 1 week to really study and repeat labs over and over again. Provided you take excellent notes of course.. But if I spend 3 hours a day watching videos, then I will spend 3 hours a day for one week hammering away at labs until I'm doing them in my sleep. I hope this helps....

I usually watch the whole training video series, then labs after, 1-2 weeks before test week.

Hope this helps.
