Not true. In my final attempt, I did something a certain way involving a
routing protocol to meet a requirement. There was also another way to do
it, which I realized after I'd done it my way, which worked. I had enough
doubt in my mind about which way was better so I asked the proctor. I told
him there were at least two ways to solve it, and I did it this way. I was
told that they were really looking for the other way. I asked if I'd get
the points for doing it my way. His response was 'possibly'. I'm not much
of a gambler, so I redid it. So with 45 minutes left, I started changing
this and watched as my IGP, EGPs, and everything on top of that broke.
Pretty scary. But the change worked and everything straightened out. Had
this been the two day lab, I would have argued the next day about doing it
my way, but with the 1 day format, you don't have that luxury. Remember,
'correct' in the lab is in the eyes of the proctor, not you!
