"In the end, you should understand 100% of what points you missed and
exactly WHY you missed them."
As a follow on to this, you may want to work some labs with specific focus
on testing and verification. You should know how to verify each section
precisely, to the point you absolutely know you got the points. The worst
feeling is when you think you get the points, leave the lab and look at the
score report and wonder what happened. If you practice the verification
just like you practice the configuration, you will be able to do it quickly
and precisely on lab day.
Do not THINK you got the points, verify precisely and KNOW you got the
points.
I spent 2 weeks on precise verification before my successful lab.
