QoS took a lot more time than I thought (and honestly I still don't think I have it down "great").  Also I spent the last week or so of this month cramming for the written exam on May 22 (wish me luck!).

Watched/Study - Pretty much this whole page: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/12_2/qos/configuration/guide/fqos_c/qcfconmg.html#wpxref48685
It is the old 12.2 QoS guide, but it is the best info I've found on WFQ/some of the legacy stuff that is on the blueprint

I am definitely going to have to go back through some of this again as I get more familiar with the concepts and work through some labs.
