Overall, these labs certainly focused more on MPLS VPNs and their capabilities, applications, etc. then IPX Vol 1. I think I can get through 90% of them just by looking at the diagram and the Objective which I take is a good sign that I can infer whats needed.
I plan on going over everything again, doing an assessment of where I am in relation to the blue print and then tackling another workbook. Reviewing MPLS Fundamentals. And finally tackling the Vol 2 labs.
