I would say that the Assessor is a good gauge of what you'll see in 10
days. I barely finished it and did not pass. Don't worry about your score
too much. Try to focus on what you did wrong and really understand why you
lost those points. Don't make the same mistakes again! Also try to get
through the whole thing without using the assessor tool. I would consider
that cheating and it takes away from the real lab experience.
I finished the real lab with about 2 hours to spare so you should be fine.
You may want to work on your speed a bit so that you'll have plenty of time
to verify your configs. Obviously the more things that you know cold
without having to look them up will benefit you significantly. In my
opinion you really need at least an hour at the end to go back and check
everything again. I caught a couple of mistakes that would have caused me
to fail. Don't worry too much and have fun! Good luck!
