Did you check on the CheckIT feedbacks? Try to spot out what are your weakness while you took the CheckIT lab...and fix those weaknesses in the real one.
   
  You will be alright. Good luck.

  Hi Sean,

Don't correlate your score on a CheckIT to your score on the real lab. As
others have mentioned, CheckIT's are tough - real tough. Don't get
discouraged with the score - it's actually a pretty decent start. When I
took the CheckITs, I could see my score creep up week after week as I
approached my lab date. Too be honest, I don't think I ever scored over an
85 on any of the CheckITs, but it was the gradual rise in score that assured
me that I was on the right track. But I'm sure I wouldn't have passed my
lab without the focus and attention I used during my CheckIT labs. Little
things - like could I find that QoS command on the DocCD, or was I able to
hit the golden moment within a certain time window - are just as important
to evaluate when using a CheckIT as is the final score.

Good luck next week!

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.
