Yes, the one day lab is very brutal. No time to check anything. You have to
know the technologies cold, period. Quoting my favorite proctor (Cus he gave
me my number) "We don't expect you to know everything, But we expect you to
score 80 points". If you try t fiddle your way through a technology, or
spend to much time trying to get something to work, your screwed.
