Trying keeping your cool and try not to read much into the questions and
try not to assume too much e.g. If you have a router with ethernet and
token ring peering with another router with ethernet only and the
question asks you to DLSW between the two routers. Should you assume
that ethernet and token ring on the same router need to see each another
? Probably NOT, ask the proctor and verify before you spend next 45
minutes on something that was not even needed. Although there are plenty
of color pens and highlighter, I found that my own for $4.95 were the
best and the brightest. Ask for extra paper if you need. Test your CD
and the performance of CD before you start the lab ( and hope and pray
that it works fast). If your PC allows for higher resolution, switch to
1024x768; it covers much more per screen and saves time in scanning for
what you are looking for.

And the most important one is sleep well, eat well and be at lab at
least 1/2 hr early.

Good Luck
