Hi,
I think Joseph is right, best way to pass the lab is to cover all the
topic's. You will always make small mistakes and loose points here and
there, if you add all that and the points left on the table, 95+% of the
time you will fail.
Best is to cover all the topics, hence increase the chanses of passing.
