I don't know about the one day lab as I never took it. But I can tell you that
in the two-day version, there were not-so-subtle hints about what you needed t
o do. The lab isn't about telling you explicitly how to do things. Otherwise,
anyone could do it.
If you take the time to really read over the questions, you'll find subtle hint
s. On my first attempt, as I sat there in my hotel room, I did the entire lab
over on my home rack. I mean down to the IP addresses that they gave me. I di
d the ENTIRE lab and as I was doing it, I kept saying to myself "oops, didn't t
hink about that!" "oops, that's what they meant" etc. Needless to say, I did
not pass. One month later, I CRUSHED it. It was a personal goal to not only p
ass, but to ABSOLUTELY CRUSH the test - which I did partly because it was such
an easier lab scenerio <G>)
The moral of the story is, being able to ping isn't the answer. Seeing a route
in the table isn't the answer. Being able to see the whole picture, and *appl
ying* what you know is the key.
One of my co-workers did ask for another grading and went from Candidate-coming
-back to CCIE# WXYZ.
Good luck.
