Failure #1

I didn't make it to day 2 in San Jose last week. A little frustrating
because there was only about 5 points worth I didn't have a chance at
using only the doc CD (which, by the way, DOES have some misleading
errors on it that appeared on the exam)- I just didn't manage my time
correctly. You only have about 20 minutes per item now. Some only take
5 minutes, but it's tough to solve a snag that isn't as obvious this
quickly. The proctor was late 15 minutes and we were not given the time
back at the end, which meant we had about 2 hours for the morning
topics.. I read the lab first and documented well. Typed in the basics
very fast. Got snagged once, twice, three times, then tried to work out
the other stuff, but it was dependant on the item that wasn't working so
I couldn't verify anything. When I finally got it working, it all
started coming up, but I only had an hour left to verify that everyting
else was working properly, which it wasn't.

When I eventually get around to taking it again I think I'll do better,
but I haven't seen day 2 yet - so this could be an ongoing project.
First - I'm moving to California.
