Hi,
People say speed is your friend on the lab. Where speed = knowing the
material, developing a plan of attack, and then executing your plan. Typing
it in is a whole different story....
The first time I took the lab, I went in with an arm that was freshly
broken.... (I broke it 3 days before sitting my first time.) If I knew
what I was doing back then, even though I was typing at 1/2 the speed, I
would have been able to pass.... The second, third, fourth, and fifth time
around, I was typing twice as fast and didn't pass.
The six time, I actually took my time and double checked the command before
I hit enter. I found errors atleast 5 times, that I would never have found,
without pausing and doublechecking before hitting enter.
Know your stuff, develop a plan, and execute your plan! Typing speed isn't
that important... (unless you are 2 or 3 words per minute).
If you are that slow, you might think of a different career.... (or create a
really long list of alias commands)..... ;)
And for everybody else who recently passed, and hasn't received their plaque
yet..... I just got my plaque on Monday, nearly 9 months later.
Good luck!
Eric
