First Attempt

I took my first attempt this past week, I was surprised how easy the test
actually was, while I knew I didn't get a perfect score, I was confident
walking out of there I had passed, and with plenty of time to spare.
Unfortunately confidence does not dictate pass / fail, there were some IGP
scenarios that I KNEW I should have asked for clarification on and didn't,
those extra few lost tasks ended up costing me the test. Of course the other
tasks that I knew I had missed definitely contributed to the failure, at least
I know next time to ask for clarification, and I know what area's to brush up
on over the next month or so.

Thanks again to those that have helped me get this far, Narbik your class and
workbooks made up the majority of my preparedness, Joe A. thank you for the
last minute direction, a mock lab helped me get prepared for the documentation
and time management I needed to get through with the day.

Now I need to find another lab date, and probably prepare to take the new
version.
