Yes - you need to configure VTP exactly how they ask. If they never
specify the VTP topology they require - then you can do whatever you
like of course. I would just recommend that whatever you do, be sure you
can do it quickly and efficiently. No extra points anywhere for a good
design.
Now keep in mind that it is only your final configuration that you "turn
in" and the end of the day that matters. For example, if Cisco requires
that you turn off VTP by having all of your switches in Transparent
Mode, you could still use Server and Clients to build the initial VLAN
topology and then turn it all to Transparent when you are done
propagating all the VLANs!

Ben,
It is my understanding that you should only configure exactly what is
required by the task. Cisco is not looking to build a well-designed
network.
But, take my advice with a grain of salt. I have yet to take the lab
myself. Any lab veterans?
