Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings Kevin. No doubt in my mind you
are a winner. And even a winner has to loose first, so he will know how good
it feels to finally win!
You're going to be so strong with the materials and feel so good when you go
back and get your number. Next time the watermelon juice is on the right of
the lunch line, on the other side of the wall from where we drop off our
trays, and facing the cash registers. See, I'm a winner, and I've been there
enough times to know that.
LOL
Keep studying!

Subject: comments from 1st time fail
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.
