J B,
It is possible to score 0% in one or two sections and still pass the exam,
but those sections cannot be part of the core areas like Bridging,
switching, IGP etc.
Remember that, all the sections of the test just like what we see in the
commercial labs available are not equally weighted, what matters at the end
of the whole day is a score of 80%.
If you get those one pointers on your IOS Feature sections and your get a
total of say 3 IOS features question having a point value of say 1, 2, 1
and you have just 2 questions on your multicast section each having 2
points. A score of 0% on the IOS section means you only lost 4 points, you
still have 96 points; if you get another 0% on the multicast section, you
hav lost another 4 points; though at this point ones hopes are gradually
slipping aways, but wait! One still have 92 points to fight for and you
might just struck the rhythm that will saving the sinking boat among the
remaing 92 points.
I find a score of 70 - 80% on Bridging/switching & IGP more of a 'show
stopper' than a 0% in some of the other sections. Not that, the other
sections are not equally necessay, sometimes they could just be the life
saver, but the truth is, if my security section is not okay, it will only
affect the security section, but if my briding/switching or IGP is far far
less than perfect, other innocent and otherwise correctly configured
sections might suffer, because one only get credit for a working
configuration.
