FYI - I'd say ask those questions.
I find it amusing that some do not like questions, on a board designed to ask questions.
Almost every question might be encountered on a given CCIE Lab.
At my stage in the game, I'm trolling through the archives looking for questions and scenarios that might be less than clear or may have more than one way to do them.
I went to 3 NMC Bootcamps and missed some of these questions a time or too (embarassing but true). I was not alone. My class-mates did the same.
Funny I think nearly every student worked for either Cisco, a Cisco Partner, or a fairly large companny.
So to dismiss a question as being too easy is non-sense.
I have been told by some of the people I consider to be the tops in the industry that the CCIE Lab is essentially a lot of tasks (most of them basic) that are specifically designed to eat your time, dissolve your energey, and ultimately build on your knowldge or lack of knowledge on fundamental concepts.
You are given a broke network, now fix it.
I think many of us look much to hard to make the lab more than it is.
Pressure is perhaps the hardest thing to deal with when taking a graded lab, and expectation can lead to more than one attempt.
The majority of people fail the exam the first time.
Caslow must have went over his classification of students at least 10 times per class and this means I've heard it at least 30 times.
Most people go to the lab as a "D" Student, that is they simply DO NOT know the technologies or simpy do not know their options. As a result they have very little opportunity to pass the lab.
How many people from this group have gone to the lab and returned with a score report of less than 60...
My point has been made.
Let people like GiGi, get out of the rut. I'm not saying that GiGi should not have gone and at least looked casually for these topics.
But I can make the statement for many others here as well.
To boil it down, I would think Groupstudy is the prime place to get out of that 60-Point Candidate mode and get into the the next phase.
