This is not necessarily true. It is more common that I see
students who don't understand why they failed as opposed to students
that do understand why they failed. As I'm sure many of you can attest
to, the score report that Cisco provides after an unsuccessful attempt
is rarely indicative of how you thought you performed. This was the main
motivation for the new mock lab class format that Brian Dennis and I
developed.
By subjecting students to the conditions of the lab (8 hours for
lab plus 30 minutes for lunch), grading the lab on a point scale of 100,
and discussing the lab, you can get an independent outside opinion of
what you're doing correct/incorrect.

Undoubtedly. The key to passing this certification is to
understand the fundamental principles of how the protocols operate and
interoperate with each other. There are no shortcuts in this process.
Learning tools such as classes and workbooks can assist you in this
process, but you will still only get out of them what you put into them.
Good luck on your next attempt.
HTH,
Brian McGahan, CCIE #8593
