Yes this will make the lab date longer. If everyone takes
5-10minutes and there are 9 candidates on any given day at site like
San Jose that's 1hr and half wait before you can touch the lab
equipment. Also these are the added points on top of the lab exam.
They're not going to take away any lab points to pass the lab so 80 is
still the magic number.
