One of my collegue passed the exam,and his proctor was bit close to him,
My friend told me that he heard from that proctor saying if the script
gave 70-80 marks, then manually they check if anything the script missed
out/ but no grace marks or any kind of it would be tried.

I took my last attempt in RTP on a Saturday, when they were still doing
weekend labs there. The proctor told us he was grading Hong Kong's labs
during our exam. He said the exams are normally scored in another part
of the world after you take it so you can get your results that night.
Because RTP was the only lab open on the weekend, I had to wait until
Sunday around noon to get my results. The labs were graded by a script,
but I think he said errors were checked by hand.

I heard that that the CCIE lab exams are being graded remotely from
India by running scripts and if the scripts gives a low enough score
they dont even bother checking the test manually. Now there is no way
to really know if this is true but It would not surprise me because I
always receive my lab score late at night.

I know some one that got the test regarded and pass the lab exam. It
just makes me wonder just how reliable the grading is. It bothers me
that we pay $1250 for a test an we can not even be assure that it will
be graded to the highest standards.

I am going for my third attempt and hopefully it will be my last and may
have the test regarded if I dont pass.

Does anyone know truth about how Cisco grades the test and how reliable
the grading is? Or does Cisco keep this information confidential?

Has anyone had his or her test regarded?

Any comments?
