The test is a results-based exam. So if your show commands tell you that
you meet the requirements, then things SHOULD be good. "should" defined by
Webster is "ought to, but not necessarily will".
You're taking the option of a re-grade which may help. Occasionally
mistakes happen.
Typically though (in case your re-grade isn't any better), by the time you
get to this point and are that confident about everything, the thing that
usually happens is people getting too hasty in reading through things and
missing some important words (perhaps having done something SIMILAR is a
practice lab, and immediately assuming they know what to do).
The wording doesn't deliberately set out to be tricky, but the more you
practice on things, the more set in your ways you may become. And that is
harmful to the lab experience. I know that doesn't help much at this point,
but I can't stress enough the importance of SLOWLY reading through the exam,
taking notes and asking lots of questions of the proctor. That way you know
exactly what they are asking, and you already know how to achieve it.
Good luck with the re-grade! While the statistics on re-grades passing
aren't real high, there's still a chance if mistakes were made on the
grading.
Cheers,
Scott

Guys ?
I took the lab on Friday, got my results and didn?t pass but I?m doing a
re-read of the test. My question is this, you practice and practice
everything you can think of, you do the practice exams and do really well on
those in the 90 ? 95% range, then come test time you get subjects that you
know like the back of your hand and have configured time and time again in
labs and real life. You configure the tasks the way they ask, you get the
results and the section is marked extremely low. I don?t understand what I
did wrong, I configured the devices as the requirements have asked and I
still get the sections wrong. Everything works according to the show
commands, nothing is failing and I still get the sections wrong. Now from
what I understand on certain sections there are multiple ways of configuring
the devices to get the required result, but other sections you need to
configure the section and they tell you how to configure it. If you
configure the device and it meets the re!
quirement doesn?t violate the rules it should be valid, even though it
might not be the desired configuration they are looking for it should still
be right, right?
Scott I have heard about you but never talked with you before, does any of
this make sense to you? I know you teach a course and might have a little
in-site that will help.
If anyone might have a suggestion I'm open to it, I have taken the test more
times that I would like to state, but I would like to finish off my
certification and call it done. (basically I don't give up easily, other
people can pass it, so can I :) )
Thanks for all the help you have provided in the past.
