CCDA Study Strategies

Plazma

So one of the biggest attributes i had when studying for my CCNA and the CCNP was the fact I could lab up everything and see how it works. While the CCDA and CCDP seem interesting and enjoyable, both don't seem to have the main thing that played in my favor. By reading some of the CCDA material it seems to be all theory and best practices (which is what the exam is all about).

So what is the best strategy for tackling these exams being as i can't lab them up? Perhaps I can "lab" them in a way but I'm overlooking on how?

From what I have heard, it seems to be all book study. Read, read, and re-read... Perform calculations so that all the formulas are in your head and familiar...
