RE: CHECKiT Lab Scoring Realism

There is no direct correlation between any check-it lab and the real thing.

Just because you do bad on one, that does not mean that you will also do bad
on the other and visa versa. If you were to score a 100% on a check-it,
that in no way means you will experience the same results on the actual lab.

Since you have already attempted the real lab once, you should know that the
stresses are completely different than doing a practice lab and the smallest
thing can trip you up to less than desirable results.

As long as you know the technologies being tested, the particular way they
are presented in a lab, practice or real, should be irrelevant.

Subject: CHECKiT Lab Scoring Realism

        My 2nd lab attempt is scheduled for Tuesday, 3-13. To make myself
feel better, I decided to try an NMC CHECKiT lab on Sunday. Now I feel
worse. The amount of work and difficulty seemed to be far worse than I
experienced in the real thing. I took the entire 9 hours, didn't complete
all of the tasks, and I scored a 66, and now I'm a little worried about my
odds of passing on Tuesday.
        Is a 66 on CHECKiT lab 11 all that bad, and could that translate
to an 80 on the real lab? Or should I cancel all of my plans and devote
this final week to nothing but study?
        I've found that preparing for the lab is a 2nd full-time job, and
it has negatively affected every portion of my life. I'd really like the
2nd attempt a success.
