Hi Colin,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I do feel my core stuff is fairly strong,
as I worked that for months prior to shifting to multi-protocol/mock labs
(which is part of why my speed sucks so badly). But memory is ever an issue
for me, so that's not to say I have immediate recall of all core stuff I've
touched.
I'll keep at it...
Regards,
Scott

By now you hopefully have learned the majority of the core technology
covered in the lab. I would work on my speed, then work on more speed.
Do your practice labs over and over again so it just rolls off your
fingertips while forcing yourself only to use the DocCD.
my 2 cents,
