That may be the theory of the grading or what they say they do but the
reality is they do not dig deeply into your config to see if you should
get some points for one section or another. I can't give the specifics
due to NDA but suffice it to say if you have two questions that relate
to the same technology and you configure the first wrong and the second
right and the second won't work without the first you will miss both
questions. That at least happened to me in RTP.
Each proctor may work slightly differently - some more "caring" than
others :)

They grade you on the specifics for each section. If you complete
section
1, skip section 2, but complete section 3, even though mabe you needed
some
routing configs in sec 2 to complete sec 3 they don't ding you if you do
all
the configurations correctly for the specific section.,.....
