RE: Bad IE Mock Lab Result :(

Jason,

I just got back from the mock lab workshop from IE and I can tell you that it made a big difference for me to be in a controlled environment. Are you taking your labs in a private area, away from family and disturbances? Lab 5 has two sections of a certain technology that are not covered in the volume II workbooks at all. So that required a little out of the box thinking for me. However, being in a controlled environment, I was completely on top of security task to permit NTP and protocol 41 for the IPv6 task.

How long did the lab take you finish? Were you able to recheck your sections? Was any of the technology confusing for you?
