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!

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.
