Pass experience

I watched Neil’s course and then recapped with some of Jeremy’s course (Free udemy at work). I spent about a month just watching videos and probably the last week doing practice exams on bosun and the anki flash cards. I pretty much skipped all the labs and as a result I didn’t complete any of the lablets in the exam. I skipped them entirely so I guess they don’t have much weight. Curious if others had a similar experience
