There's a fine line. You could spend the whole lab asking the proctor for
clarification on irrelevant material.
If I see a question like "configure OSPF on R5" and a PID is not specified, I
will use what I want. Maybe this will lose me points, but if something is
not specified, then it boils down to 2 things:
1. It was not intended to be relevant to scoring and is "fair game." If I
misread the question and get it wrong, it's my fault.
2. The test was poorly written.
Don't worry about what you can't control. But don't second-guess yourself
out of passing, either.
