IE does not provide this facility any more !!! We can only get graded report
with non-interactive VOD !!!
In the absence of interactive session I found Check IT is more useful than
IE Mock Labs . I would strongly suggest IE to review their policy and
re-introduce this in their service offering .
One more Plus about Check IT is that ... Your Lab are graded as the way Real
CCIE lab is graded . i,e via scripts !!! Hence Results would match closer to
real labs ...
In the end if there is option to merge both offerings i.e MOCK Labs graded
by script supported by interactive session with a senior mentor ...it would
be really wonderfull .As of now we don't have any !!!!
Thanks and Regards
Arun
