That's one of the things that always got me in those classes - I'd also 
often get done so early I wondered what I'd missed.

I did a certification test a few years ago that I did this on - exam was 
2.5 hours long, I finished in 15 minutes.  So I checked my work - good 
thing I did, because I did actually miss something, and ended up crashing 
the test environment trying to fix it.

If it hadn't been for a configuration error in the exam environment, I 
would've been outta there in 15 minutes.  Fixing a series of cascading 
failures due to the configuration error took me another 2:15, at which 
time the exam crashed hard.

I was quite pissed about it because I'd scheduled the exam time 30 
minutes before my normal lunchtime.  So I was very hungry by the time it 
crashed.
