Bryan,
I know the feeling, it took me several attempts to pass the lab. The attempt where I did get my number I had enough time to go through every detail of my solutions prior to the end of the day. I was amazed at all the little mistakes I had in the configs. If I didn't have the time to recheck my work thoroughly, it would have been another failure.
Every time I received my score I also though, holy #*#* how did I do so bad,...well, the little things are what gets ya....Good luck.....Bob
