I can do that... I crushed most of the workbook (ok except for the "stupid
router tricks", LOL), and failed the lab twice.
Wording, IE WB = 6 / Real Lab = 16 LOL!!!!! (Coming from a part-time spec
screenwriter who routinely keeps 3 storylines, 10 conversations, over 100
pages and weeks of storyline in his head)
Overall Lab difficultly 9-10 (although there are some lame "3" tasks on the
lab)
I would say the wording on the lab is definitely much more complex and
"nested", where the IE WB VOL II. 4.1 is "expositional". The very first lab
I did in IE WB (at random) was 13. I then did the big 10's -> 14,15,19,20
(in that order) before working my way back from 2-12,13 (again).
I even made up my own lab, based on the hardest tasks (as I found them) in
the whole IE WB VOL II.
I can't say again how HARD YOU MUST READ THE REAL LAB, A FEW TIMES!!!!
At first glance, it's DECEPTIVELY easy. By 10am in the lab, I almost think
I'm leaving with 98 points. By 2pm, I usually stuck on 8 things, 4 I have a
clue how to verify.
