Context: I studied primarily with Neil Anderson's course and flashcards, and I did the Boson ExSim exams (first attempt scores A: 82, B: 77, C: 76, D: 89, E: 91). Based on my scores, I don't think I need to reschedule? But it would suck if I got cocky and got tested on the handful of niche details I happened to neglect. Idk if I should feel good and relax a bit or if I need to lock in big time for the final stretch

I didn't use Jeremy's course because I thought doing two courses at once was just dividing my time. It's only yesterday I started watching some of his videos on YT and realized they're actually quite helpful, so I wish I'd done JITL stuff sooner. With just a week to go, there's no way to do the whole thing. I can study about 4-6 hours a day.

So... what's the best use of my time rn? Any labs or resources from Jeremy in particular? Any topics I should really drill?

I'd like some tips on how to manage my time on the exam. Context:

I've done the Boson ExSim exams, and I noticed that during the lab portion I always felt like I was taking too long, but ultimately the MCQ goes by relatively fast and I end up with about 30 minutes left. I believe ExSim exams are a bit shorter than the real thing though? so maybe I can't really afford to go slower than this

How long should I aim to take on each lab question? I'm also concerned about what happens if I get to a lab on the CCNA that's really long or difficult. At what point should I say "aight, I'm not sure I can finish this in time" and leave it half-finished hoping for partial credit?
