The proctors will tell you that the CURRENT exam is graded through a
combination of computer grading script - and a human proctor.
From what I have gleaned through talking to many at Cisco on the subject
- if the grading script hits your exam and states you scored a 96% -
there is no way a human bothers to look at your exam. If the script says
you scored a 78% - they will look for sure trying to pass you.
As to how the computer can grade accurately - I imagine at times the
script is looking at show command results, while at other times it is
looking for specific configuration lines.
Many of us have had the same ugly experience with the lab you described
- "I scored a 0% on such and such a section - NO WAY!" Often times,
believe it or not, we DID manage to misinterpret or misconfigure all
tasks in that section. This is especially easy to do if the second task
DEPENDS upon the first task being configured EXACTLY as that grading
script wants to see it done!

Scott,
Is that not saying something about the process of grading the CCIE lab?
It
means that there is no consistency. If you got points that you didn't
have
originally and you lost points that you had originally, then the process
of
grading labs requires some analysis.
I had my first attempt last month and I got 0% for multicast and I am
almost
certain that I completed both tasks in my multicast. Do they use
computers
to grade? If so, how can a computer grade accurately?
If you do not get detailed score reports then how can you challenge your
score if you feel you have passed?
At least if you are at University and you feel that you didn't do as
well as
you hoped, you can apply to the exam board and get some other tutor to
regrade.

Nope, but I got back the points I was irritated for not getting. But I
lost
some other points which kinda pissed me off. But I passed the next
time, so
it wasn't the end of the world.

You will receive table with was/now points on each section
2007/2/22, Scott Morris <swm@emanon.com>:
You will get a score report, just like the first time around. And you
MAY
see differences in the values.
You will not, however, get any detailed feedback or specific listings of
what you missed.
The score report is only meant to let you know 'areas' that you may need
additional work in, not give you details.

I do not think so. If you fail you will see the percentages of your
score in
all areas tested, but if you regrade (you will pay for that) then they
will
just let you know if you passed or failed (as far as I know).

Group,
In case I ask to regrade my lab is it possible that they tell you what I
did
wrong?
I think it will be very useful to know that because I really can't
figure
out myself what I did wrong and I don't want to do it again next time.
