O.k. I sat the exam last week and failed but by not a lot. Silly mistakes kil
led me. For those of you who have still to experience the one day lab then ple
ase read ahead.

Mostly everyone on this list stated that there was no time to do the lab or che
ck anything. I found this to be so untrue it was unreal. Most people on the l
ab finished with an hour to go and I had more time than this to check and try t
o get the annoying things that didn't work to work (although I
failed to get two things working)... So from that, my advice is if you are stuc
k on something, move on and work your way through the workbook. Once you get t
o the end you should have plenty time to fix (if you can) the problems you left
.

>From my experience of Brussels everything was there. The proctors turned up w
hen they should, answered any questions you asked, there were icons for each el
ement you had to configure, there was paper, there were pens, pencils, sharpene
rs and erasers. Lunch was horrible although I don't think
anyone was to bothered about lunch, so if you are a person who cannot go withou
t lunch bring a packed lunch with you (just don't put your answers in your lunc
h box !!).

All in all enjoy the experience and READ the questions (even the smallest detai
l). I am resetting in Feb next year and I reckon the pressure will really be o
n then. Most people fail 1st time anyway is what I can say this time but next
time ??
