OK, My turn to bear my soul.... I took the lab in Brussels for the 1st time on 7th March and failed. I wondered of any other candidates may like to give their opinions on a few things. I found that I was completely freaked out by the fact that I was actually sitting there doing this fabled lab , and that did it for me big time. I had prepared for the best part of 12 months ( having had quite a few years hands on ) and thought I had a fairly good chance and still think I have. I found that I was unable to troubleshoot one or two scenarios that were presented to me due to nerves. These scenarios would not have been obvious but were essentially not really that difficult to work out. I really wanted to get thoughts and opinions from those who have perhaps failed 1st time and passed 2nd. Although the questions are obviously going to be totally different 2nd time around ,did you feel better prepared and were you any less nervous? Every day that I look back at what I did ( or didn't ) do it haunts me that I missed things that I should have been able to do standing on my head. Yes, they were devious and yes I think my study preparation is shaped rather differently now. Yes there is time to do what is asked of you unless the nerves get you and then you can't focus properly. Any comments would be really gratefully received and yes I will beat this BAD next time.
PS. Chuck L and John N , thanks for some of the invaluable posts that made me think about things slightly differently...
