Couldn't agree more Jeff. We are being tested on a broad range of
technologies, but most of the time they are looking for a simple solution,
this has been echoed over and over. My problem was exactly as yours,
overcomplicated approaches to a not so complicated problem. Again it's
always a little easier to comprehend what was required about 2 minutes from
leaving the testing center.
Good luck on your next attemt.

Subject: Failure #2
Just a couple of points shy of making it to day 2 in Halifax. Seems that in
the process of trying to do something fancy to make a 2 point problem work I
destroyed my OSPF, and this didn't become apparent until about 4:50pm.
Don't let this happen to you...I actually finished the Day 1 binder by
3:30pm. Got deducted for not so stupid details like missing passwords.
Lost about 5-8 points on stuff I legitimately didn't know enough about.
Much better than my first try, and although both proctors I had were very
helpful, the environment in Halifax is less formal than San Jose which is
more agreeable to me. The only thing I can see doing now is learning the
intricate details of the stuff I didn't know and taking it again. Something
that helped me do better this time after the first test was realizing that
the answers to most of the problems are very simple - maybe complicated in
theory, but simple in application. If you find yourself doing something
that takes a lot of config!
uration, your problably on the wrong track..
