I'd be interested to see how Cisco's "Assessor" turns out - both in terms of 
content and the quality of feedback it gives you.  Four hours seems to be a 
bit short in my opinion.  Keeping your mental focus for 8 hours was one of 
the most challenging parts of the lab for me.  Somewhere around 2PM is where 
I found careless errors start to creep in.
I did take several CheckITs before my actual lab.  The scoring nailed 
exactly where I was at the time and the feeback was extremely helpful.  
Putting myself through the full 8 hour experience prior to the real lab gave 
me a good idea of how prepared I was and where I needed to keep working.  If 
you're interested in seeing where you stack up before you take the real 
thing I'd highly recommend a CheckIT.
