Although the exam editor would like to narrow the answer of the exam to one
or two ways, reality is that it is hard. two suggestions:
1) Do read into the question(s). I mean read it at least once and force
yourself to understand the case before you touch the keyboard. This is what
you do in real world, anyway A week ago, when I am in RTP, I met serveral
other guys, who cann't resist the anixet to start in just about 30 mins
also. I bet that there isn't enough time for them to think through the day
1 cases if you start that quick. I used about 1 hour, And I finished with 3
hours left. ( I did got back 3~5 points in that 3 hours)
2)Do discuss with the protor when he grading you, no panic. I can't give
you exact case I had. But I had at least 3 3 point game that proctor
thought I am wrong. And turns out that 1 is the protor using wring IP
address to do the testing.(I got two protors, so it is possible); the other
is that the IOS had a little glitche, you have to do it a little bit
jiggering to get the result out, and yes, no need to reconfigure. So you
have to be confident on what you have and present that to the protor. (Of
course it helps that you know that before hand, but it is hard to predict
those things. The tougher part is that the protor only have 30 second to
listen to you. If you don't know why it is not working, move around the
router and show him how you configured)
So with extra time saved after careful planning, with some confidence with
what you have, You will do fine.
Good luck.

Subject: Re: Is there a "correct" answer?
Yes and no. I guess it depends on the question. There could be more
than one way of getting the answer. But read the question carefully.
Sometimes it may give a hint how to configure or things not to do to
solve the problem. If you ignore these requirements in the question and
even if you get the answer, I think you will get the question wrong.
