But wouldn't you guys like to go through the lab and see whats up?
If anyone has doubts about their knowledge of answering these questions,
they are simply NOT ready. I have had few of my students that passed and all
they said was "If you are ready, you are ready, if you are NOT then you
should NOT take the exam", and i have to agree.
Whether the test is before or after or in the middle of the lab, what is the
difference? What does it matter?
I hope they implement more stuff to kick the fake ones out, i am very glad
about these questions. If it was up to me, i would ask a written question
after each Task saying explain yourself, why did you perform that task. Do
you know of other ways to configure the same task? name couple of other ways
that would accomplish the same task.
This is what i would do.
