Well technically you are not discussing your score, shud u pass... since one
never finds out how much one scored if one passes ;) You are just saying you
passed, not pass with x%.

Mike: I'd suggest getting to the exam city at least a week before.. if its
halfway around the world (any time zone diff >08hrs) you shud not attempt a
lab while in jet lag. Though you will be able to get thru this time. The key
factor is not to loose hope.. I have gone thru 2 attempts so far, and can
only say that do not be demoralized .. thats the biggest hurdle in this
journey. I have my 3rd attempt in july and already I feel the pressure...

I think thats enough pysho-babble for one nite... there are more wise (and
old?) men here who can provide a much better insight into how to stay on the
path.

Regards,
Piyoush.
