Hey guys! Not sure if this was asked before but is CKAD just as hard as the lightening labs? I did the first one last night three times and even though I knew the majority of the questions I ran out of time. Was wondering if CKAD is actually as difficult or is it designed so that we are prepared for the worst? lol @Mumshad Mannambeth any comments?

Sarvesh:
It is difficult as the lightning. I’d say a little bit more difficult than lightning, as there will be 1/2 unexpected questions.
So practice until you solve lightning lab in time or at least leaving 5-7 mins extra time.

I used to solve lightning lab in half time. Still was attempting exam till last min.

Jesus Arechiga Jimenez:
Way more difficult. My rule: If you can’t finish lighting in 20 minutes, you are not ready.

Amir A:
Thank you

Oh, the responses here are surprising. I did the lightning labs a couple of times and then attempted the mock exam, and found the mock exam to be a whole lot simpler than the lightning labs. I thought that the lightning labs were so difficult just to shock us into improving our speed. Now I am slightly scared :grin:

Tharanath:
Lightning labs are intended to improve the speed and go deeper into the concept… :slightly_smiling_face:
