Joseph,

As someone who took four tries, let me give you this advice: practice does
not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. Sounds trite, but it took
me $4000 in lab fees to learn!

In order to pass, I had to do the things I knew perfectly and quickly.
Practice labs under time pressure and accept nothing less than perfection.

My $.02,
