Everybody's opinions on "ranking" labs varies. You'll find the real lab to be a 7 or 8 in difficulty. That doesn't mean you should avoid/ignore any lab more difficult. There are lessons to be learned doing harder labs, especially in some of the small details that will be incredibly helpful in tackling the real lab.
Much like I run into when people take the bootcamp and I'm told that the labs are "off the scale", they are designed to be. There's a lot of thinking to cram into a short period of time! :) but any small piece in a big or small lab may be seen on the real lab, so best to be prepared ahead of time for the thinking and difficulties of any particular task set!

I did complete it in 8 hours, but I did miss some small tasks. The workbook categories the labs from level 3-10 and this is a 9. What should I expect the real lab to be like? Regards Ralph Olsen
