Keep your head up you will get it. But first things first never LEAVE the
exam early. Even if you've finished hours ahead of time go through the lab
over and over read each question. On my final attempt I ran through the lab
1 time maybe asked the proctor a couple of questions early on but I made
alot of notes and questions that I may have had. Once I did everything I
could do I took a list of questions and my diagram to the proctor and got
all of my questions out I think it was like 4 or 5 things I needed more
clarification on.
If your still unsure and don't like the proctor's answers and are fortunate
to have a second proctor there ask him the same questions for
clarification. For $1400 I hope you ask every question you are unsure of
and need clarification. You will feel more confident hopefully getting the
clarification cleared up.
I spent the rest of my time going over the lab questions I went through the
lab 3 times again going over each question and checking the DocCD making
sure I didn't miss anything, you must do the VERIFICATION it doesn't lie. I
stayed till time was called.
Take some MockLabs and they will give you a little insight on little things
that you have to check for that you could miss. It's usually the little
mistakes that will burn you. Goodluck on your next attempt.
