Thank you both for writing. It's great to write an email telling that you
passed, but it must surely be more difficult to write the other kind! I for
one am glad you did, because hearing your experience makes me feel better
about what the lab will be like. Better luck next time!

I shared the room with Robert the 15 Nov and I completly agree with him.
I didn't pass as well for few points and I still have to figure out what
I did wrong 'cause I was quite happy while leaving the lab. Take care
'cause silly mistakes are just round the corner.
Pay "great" attention to all the questions, especially if you know
english like a poor italian like me :)

Salut
Dario

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

Mostly everyone on this list stated that there was no time to do the lab
or check anything. I found this to be so untrue it was unreal. Most
people on the lab finished with an hour to go and I had more time than
this to check and try to 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 stuck on something, move on and work your way through the workbook.
Once you get to 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 when they should, answered any questions you asked, there were
icons for each element you had to configure, there was paper, there were
pens, pencils, sharpeners 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
without lunch bring a packed lunch with you (just don't put your answers
in your lunch box !!).

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