This was my down fall, I got lazy and screwed myself! I know this now and I deserved to fail based on that assumption.</i> This sums up my first experience as well. Good luck with the second. This will only make you want to have it more. What worked for me was to sit the lab again as soon as possible. While waiting for the second attempt I read workbooks instead of doing labs. About the weak areas, when I went through the score report I couldnt believe the marks in one section (a strength area, not a weakness) thought I aced that section. Sometimes overconfidence is the weakness. As I read through the exam I thought I could do it, I have done practice lab’s which were way harder and passed them!

It's definitely disheartening to fail anything, but reality just makes you smarter and stronger.
