Proctor help?

Hey Guys,

I've read many, many times on this list people mentioning that the
"proctor is your friend" and if you need clarification the "proctor is
there to help". Well, I recently sat (and failed) the lab exam; I
evidently wasn't as ready for the lab as I thought I was - that's cool,
I know the areas I need to improve. However I do have a question along
the lines of proctor assistance - or lack thereof.

Literally every time I asked a question in my lab, I was told "Read the
question" (a rather redundant activity I thought, given that I was
referencing the question in my line of enquiry!). Now, I don't expect
the proctor to give the answer away, not at all, but I am confused by
comments about how helpful the proctor was. I actually reached a point
with my proctor where I gave up asking questions because I already knew
the answer: "read the question".

I can't give concrete examples due to the NDA, however I know for a fact
that there were at least 3 or 4 questions that could be answered using
more than 1 methodology. However the proctor told me, in no uncertain
terms, that he would not assist in my choice. Has anyone had similar
experiences with proctors? In these situations, are we marked down for
choosing a methodology other than the one Cisco expected us to use?
