Danny,
Like yourself I'm attempting my first lab intent on passing, but in some cases lack of plenty of free time to prepare really thoroughly makes the 'resit' strategy a sensible option for some folks which in some cases actually makes a resit unnecessary. If you have limited time due to work, travel, family commitments, no training courses etc and you are really squeezing every hour that you can into preparation an intense cramming period may be counter productive as you need to give yourself time to take things in. You may fail anyway and be too burned out to prepare thoroughly for a resit or indeed have the option if the patience of your family and employer has been exceeded during the 'first' lab attempt preparation period. In these cases treating the first attempt as an experience can help you get the most from your studies without putting extra pressure on yourself to hammer through topics if your study time is limited in an attempt to pass first time. I think in these cases !
it makes sense for people to go 'for the experience'. On the other hand if you have plenty of 'window' to prepare and apply yourself you should be more confident. There's a lot of material to cover, practice and master. It all requires time.

Guys,
I am taking the lab exam in July and I plan to pass on the first try. I have buddies who feel, since the first time passing rate is like 20 percent, they want to take it "to see what it is like" and if they pass, they pass. I'm going there to pass an exam, not sightsee. They call it being realistic. I call it thinking negatively. What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Danny
