well, last week I took my lab and failed. I wasn't sure what to expect,
but after many months of studying, I thought I was ready and after reading
so many posts, had to face the dragon myself.
I realized about 60% of the way through the lab, that my speed wasn't up
for configuration and quickly getting to a solution. I found I was too
slow at thinking of the commands, the steps, and the process for solving
the question. Practice, practice is what I needed more of. I now think
that when you read a question you need to have the answer/solution pop
into your head naturally like you are taking your next breath. I also
fell into the trap of trying to solve questions that were driving me
crazy, and I thought to myself "i have to fix this" and I would, but it
would take me too long.
Strangely enough, taking the lab was kind of a confidence boost, meaning -
I am close and can pass it, its doable. An expensive learning lesson, but
many doubts about the exam and myself are gone.
Back to my ipexpert labs, they kick my a$$, and I know that when they can
no longer do that, its time to attempt the lab again. Hope this helps
others.
* I took the lab in SJ, proctors were great, atmosphere was professional
and the whole experience was fine. I got to keep my watch on, although
they did check it! and I forgot to scope the watermellon juice.
