Failed Again

I took my lab for the 8th time yesterday and I left feeling pretty good
about my attempt but when the score report came out it was a fail.
During the lab I was able to finish all configurations 3 hours early and
then checked and double checked all the requirements. I thought I nailed
Switching, IGP, and EGP but my scores were very low in the IGP section.
The proctors at the location where I took my lab were not that very
helpful. In fact one of them was downright terrible. I like to ask for
clarification on all items I am unsure about and every time I went to
this proctor to ask questions he would roll his eyes and let out a sigh.
It was almost as if I was bothering him to ask questions! By the end of
the day I would come to him with my two options to configure a certain
task and he would just tell me that I could do it both ways and not
loose points. Well I now believe that cost me at least a few points.
Overall I am not happy with the CCIE track and I think I am going to
throw in the towel because I can no longer afford to keep taking this
exam and failing.

Joe
