Re: How to prepare for my August lab?

Concur with Ryan with all due respect to Narbik.

Mock lab ( like INE's Mock 7) a month before the real deal is an
eye-opener. Ok ...ok... Mock 7 ( with difficulty of 10) may be an
overkill...but definitely worth a shot. Taking mock only few days
before the real exam, I would not recommend. Would reserve those days
to relax and skim over some of my notes/docs...etc.

Just my 4 cents ( 2 more than Scott M) ...:)

I found I would give myself credit where credit wasn't always due because it was close enough. If you're really ready to take the exam, a mock lab might be a real confidence booster or it might be a wake up call.
