Good to see that you have picked yourself back up and scheduled your next
lab. Good luck and thanks for the pointers. It always helps!!

violating NDA, I knew what was on the test--well, nearly--and you, if you've
been reading this list and read a few books, or a couple labs, know what is
on the test as well. So, why didn't I pass? Two reasons: one, I spent too
much of the last few weeks doing labs in a 'piece-meal' fashion--twisting
scenarios to unrealistic configurations instead of taking some full good
labs with standard alternatives and getting to the point where I could do it
blind and super-fast; and two, second guessing myself and not utilizing
timesaving configuration practices made me run short of time. I never saw 8
hours go by so fast.

half a day--very tough; that'll give you the other half to sort out things
you've only done a few times. Then, know your CD, know your time schedule,
and know you can do it.
