Brian,
It’s a great idea on having different physical topologies and wording for the mocklab. It’s the primary reason I went and tried one from other vendor (NMC), after trying few of yours. Scott Morris definitely can throw in a different style of wording, and hopefully some sense of humor to the mocklab itself )
Regards,

We’re preparing to release version 5 of our products in the late July / early August time frame and one of the changes will be regarding the mock lab physical topology. The mock labs will use a different physical topology than any of our other products. The idea is that before someone actually attempts the real lab we want to make sure they haven’t become comfortable with our “standard” topology. Currently mock labs 1 through 4 use roughly the same “IE style” of wording which we’ve found people getting too comfortable with. The higher number mock labs are written in a different style which sometimes the wording itself throws people off. Each of the version 5 mock labs will use a different physical topology and different style of wording for the tasks. This will ensure that no one assumes “anything” when they get to the real lab
