Hi Josh and Sean,
Thanks for the input Josh. Please stop by the office sometime when you are
in the neighborhood.
Sean, regarding your score of 66 for your first CHECKiT score, this is a
sign of strength for a first time CHECKiT user. At NMC, we apply a technique
called "ongoing trended assessment" with our CHECKiT labs. When you take a
CHECKiT lab, we compare your score to a special group of CHECKiT users that
have taken the same lab (or set of labs) and have gone on to pass the actual
CCIE lab. Sean, as a first time CHECKiT user, you are trending with this
special group of CHECKiT users. It is very common for a CHECKiT user that
goes on to pass the actual CCIE lab to post a score anywhere from the mid
50's to the high 60's for their very first CHECKiT lab. And your score is
right in the middle of this range - actual at the higher end of this range.
As the personal comments of your CHECKiT Lab 11 Report state:
"This is a strong score for your very first CHECKiT score. In comparing your
performance to the group of CHECKiT users that have gone on to pass the
actual CCIE lab, your first CHECKiT score is within this group of scores.
Good Job!!"
If you have not done so, please read all of the personalized comments in
your CHECKiT report. Just log into to your NMC portal and you will see these
comments. They will give you a better idea of how you did - and as you will
see, you did well. Once again, good job!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me personally. Good
luck on your actual lab next Tuesday. Remember to "Consider all options,
make no assumptions and spot those issues"!
All the best,
-Bruce Caslow CCIE #3139
