Oh, no no no no no... I beg to differ on that. The proctor's job is to
help test candidates. At least in terms of clarifying the exam (as long as
it doesn't give away any answers)
I would actually say the opposite. Ask the proctor's LOTS of questions.
Make sure that you understand what is being asked. Sometimes
language/dialect plays into people not quite understanding what the exam is
asking for. Or worse, assuming they know, and then finding out they have 0
points.
The "no partial credit rule" definitely makes things harder. I know some
great engineers who get "close" and think they get everything done on the
exam and have things working only to lose too many points. When they go
back to recreate their test and do research, they often find sample configs
that REALLY closely match what was on their exam, and in reseraching that,
they find something small that all of a sudden makes sense to what the exam
was asking. But they overlooked it while taking the exam, or assumed it was
not important!
Assume nothing. Ask for clarification. At the worst case, the proctor will
tell you that there's enough information there to answer the question
already. But proctors are definitely a resource worth using on the test!!!

Same happened to me, you shouldn't give too much credit to what the proctor
says.
It is best not to ask anything to the proctor.

Chad,
If you are fairly sure you can ask for a re-count? Cisco have been known to
make mistakes you know, not many, but some..............

Hi all,
I just got my score report back from cisco on my lab today and I didn't
pass. I was almost 100% sure after triple checking my configs checking
routing tables and reviewing the questions asked that I was going to pass.
I am not sure where to go from here, but I do have one question for all of
you. I asked the proctor for clarification on a section (question) and he
assured me that I was going down the right path without telling me the
answer. But yet I got a 0% for that section. I just don't get it, not
blaming anyone just not sure how i missed this attempt.
Regards,
Chad
