TJ.
I understand completely where you are coming from. Each time I have
taken the exam I have come away with these three things.
First, the obvious, is I didn't pass for some reason..... Bruce put it
eloquently to me last week. I suffer from "victory disease". IOW, I
think I did what they asked me to because MY answer worked.
Second, in restrospect of each attempt I am convinced that the lab is
passable and its usually not until I stop putting too much emphasis into
the requirements that I see how clearly spelled out they truelly were.
Which leads to number 3. I need to only do what they ask, not what I
think they ask. Then, I will pass.
I'll find out if my experiences prove true next week.
Best of luck and remember you wont fail if you don't stop trying.
Its just that some of us take longer than others too get there. Myself
included. 8)

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.
