I'm with you on the passing. I just about gave up after #4. Worst score of
them all, and I was pretty sure I passed. I'm just now getting back to
studying and its been almost 3 months since I took the last one. I have
until Feb to pass,at which point I would have to take the written over.

I only mention reclassification of points because a former proctor mentioned
that points don't always go where you think they do.

I'm still lobbying for the "who wants to be a CCIE" rules. 1 50/50, 1 phone
a friend, and 1 ask the other students.

:)

Hi Larry,

I see what you are saying, but I think their grading is pretty straight
forward...meaning the sections you see in the lab will correlate with the
sections on the score report. Plus, I tend to believe this because when I
multiply the percentage of what I got with the point values I memorize, it
comes out with a whole number (or extremely close). If I came up with
scoring 6.5 points in a section versus 6 for example, then I might think
something is wrong. But what I really want to do is pass...so I won't have
to see another score report...oh well...

  Thanks,
    Mike

I would be careful with that.

Something may be under a "protocol A" section, but the configuration points
are actually awarded under another section.

E.G.

Under OSPF they ask you to add security to your routing updates. Does that
go under security or under OSPF?

You may be able to get *close* to a percentage, but I wouldn't rely on that
to be completely accurate.

You can get an exact score if you take the time to memorize how many points
each section has before leaving the exam room at the end of the day. Once
you have those just do the algebra to get your score. That's what I did
during my 3rd and 4th attempts. Got a 70 and 62 respectively. I wish I did
that for my first two attempts so I would have more to compare with...
