Re: Preparing for my 3rd attempt

sounds to me that you are already there just a bit of bad luck on the last
attempt. i've taken the lab ttwice and passed config on my first attempt. i
only had around 10 minutes to check everything at the end (although i did
check things such as redistributuion as i went). i wouldn't worry too much
about having a fixed amount of time for verifying.
