I'm about to take my lab for the 3rd time (supposed to be a charm) next
Thursday. I live in Okinawa, Japan and I flew to Australia for the first
two attempts. I barely missed passing the 2nd time. I made it all the way,
I was just a few points shy. This week I'm going to take the lab in Tokyo.
The proctor only speaks Japanese although the test is written in English! I
speak a bit of Japanese; however, I'll give you folks feedback on how the
lab is when the proctor is almost non existant!

Subject: Re: Lab Proctor
As per my instructor at GeoTrain/Anew1, I was told that the exam is created
in such a way that YOU MUST ask for clarification
on certain parts of the lab to have ANY chance of getting it right. This is
setup that way because an Internetworking Expert is
suppose to be able to spot issues in a design.
Things are may phrased in such a way that they can be interpreted to mean
different things. The protocor is there to help clarify exactly what is
expected.
I was also told that it may be possible to ask the protocor to explain how
he/she will grade a certain part of the exam to help clarify what is
expected.
I know it's a little cryptic, but I don't want to be the target of a "NDA"
witch-hunt.
