For the most part, it's a mental thing. The ONLY time during the day that
you'll see the big picture and notice how things fit together is in the
morning. Otherwise, you'll be so far down into OSPF or BGP or whatever
isn't working right that you'll miss some detail points.
So read it through. Multiple times. Ask any questions for clarification
that you need to. Make notes/diagram/whatever. THEN get started on the
router!
It's not so much a list of specific things to look for other than to get
your game plan on. By the time you take your exam, (to borrow a phrase from
Bruce Caslow) you should be able to "spot the issues" with whatever is
presented. The port security thing you mentioned is one example of that!

Subject: The right approach to exam-taking
Folks, from what I read and what I hear other people say, I find that
everyone almost unanimously agree that reading the full exam before starting
is the best approach.
Why so ?
Is it because when you log into a router you can complete all the tasks
that are intended for that routers across all tasks ? This, atleast for me,
is not possible. Skimming the Qn paper to get a high level overview of what
is expected from the lab gives me a sense of what will break and which ones
need re-fixing. For example, if I see port security and at a later point I
see VRRP that shud ring a bell that there might be problems when I add VRRP
on a router connected to a port for port security. Besides such things, what
other things should I look out for when I skim through the Qn paper ?
Any comments will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
