I would aim to get no less than 90% per section when I did these test sets and no less than 85% when i did a random test.
Then for the sims I set up as best I could a GNS3 server in my home lab network and ran the same labs they had from scratch. You get to know the config when you have to build the sucker. Then I also turned and started using the labs here as I could do it all on my side in time.

Read the Official Cert Guide books plus some work with coworkers and this site for about 4 or so months. Basically 2 rounds of prep from here plus the outside work and prior to this work.
I have read the OGC. What do you mean by 2 rounds of prep from here? What did you do differently the second time from your 1st fail attrempt?
2 rounds: I paid for 2 sessions of the test prep is what I mean.
When I failed and had to do it again what I did differently was studied the labs a bit more then went to google and looked up the scenarios for the sims i actually got in the test. Then went to my GNS3 lab and tried a few variations. None legit worked in my lab. Simply because I wasn't aiming to get full network set up only to know how to do different kinds of IP SLA or googled tips and tricks on what to look for with EIGRP or OSPF over a GRE tunnel. Things I got tossed on the actual test and couldn't remember or figure out.
