I don't understand why it's so stressful/exhausting. Like I said, if you
fail the lab, so what? You just go back and do it again. And again and
again and again. Sure, you have to pay the fee, sure you have to take the
time to go to the lab again. But other than that, there is no penalty for
failing. Nobody will ever know how many times you needed to pass.
Eventually, assuming that you have some reasonable skills, you're going to
pass for, if no other reason, if you keep going back over and over again,
you're eventually going to receive a set of test questions that you happen
to know very well. It's hard for me to see why people stress themselves
out over something where failure is penalty-free.
Contrast that with any respectable school where if you keep failing over and
over, you're going to get expelled. Furthermore, employes will be able to
request your transcripts and they will be able to SEE how many times you
failed, and then make a hiring decision accordingly. That's real stress.
