What a horrible sounding experience. It's probably no consolation, but you
may want try to give feedback here (even though it's supposed to be from

Subject: lab attempt in johannesburg

>
> Taking the lab in johannesburg was a big mistake and definately wouldnt

>
> - The lab is done remotely to equipment in brussels
> - The line went down about 5 times during my exam
> - There is no onsite proctor and you have to call brussels for clarity on
> any questions.
> - I tried calling 3 times and only got through once. The other 2 times the
> proctors phone went to voice mail.
>
> I lost about 30-45min with the above issues and was unable to finish
certain
> sections before time was up.
>
> Also, the pc that i was working at didnt work initially - They were kind
> enough to give me the 20min back for that.
>
> I felt quite confident after the exam that i was going to make it but got
> the bad news this morning. Im thinking of a remark as i disagree with the
> grading i got for certain sections.
>
> Now the problem is the 4 week wait period as well as the LONG wait for
> another lab seat.

> One more thing, if Cisco is really interested in the integrity of the exam

> check ID - I wasnt asked for ID yesterday. The pc I was working on was
> extremely slow and twice gave runtime errors and closed all applications i
> was working on.
