I would not say the lab is any more or less difficult having just sat it
today and exactly 1 year ago tomorrow. If you do not know how to cable or
address or setup a frame switch then it is easier. If not it is the same
test it was 1 year ago minus some things anyone who is attempting the lab
should know inside and out anyway.
How long on average does it take to get the e-mail telling if you pass or
not? Next day at the most right??
