Ok, I need some advice.
I posted back in the beginning of November I failed my second attempt. I'll
just run through my experience real quick as it was covered in more detail
in the previous post. I didn't feel like my first attempt went well at all,
they blew me away on some of the 'secondary' topics covered and I got a
couple of 0's for some entire sections. Time management was an issue and i
was typing frantically up until they called time. I did very well on the
routing and switching sections which held my grade up. My best guess is I
scored somewhere in the low 70's. My second attempt I felt went very well,
i finished the lab in 5 hours and reviewed for 2 hours picking up some
points I skipped the first time through. I walked out an hour early feeling
like I had ~95 points and 'knowing' I had at least 85. When I got home my
score report was waiting on me and I did worse than I did the first time
scoring somewhere in the mid 60's.
So here is my problem, my second attempt I didn't see any topics that
confused me. I thought I did well, so I don't have anything technical to
work on. (well, you always have things to work on but you know what i
mean) I feel like I'm fighting a ghost. I mean how can i productively
approach this when the first time i felt horrible about it and did ~ok~ and
the second time i felt great and did crappy... Other than just sign back up
and roll the dice again I'm not sure what to do.
Advice?
Thanks
