Really?
Some Proctors tell you to read the question again, or "you're not the first
person to be tested on that rack"
Hence why the post. I'd like to "learn the test" while I learn the
technologies.

This is something I think every candidate worries about. The proctors will
tell you that any workable solution that meets the requirements of a
question will be accepted, but the answers are graded first by a script.
In some cases there are many ways to do something. For example, if you want
to add an interface into OSPF, you can add the network in the router config,
or you can do 'ip ospf x area y' under the interface config. Both work, but
does the script catch both? Same with setting an STP root. You can do root
primary or just set the switch priority to 0. Both work, but if the script
is looking for a priority of 4096 (from the root primary option) and you
have 0, does it pass or not?
Having been burned in the past, I'm pretty much of the mind that if there
are more than one workable solution, detail them for the proctor and ask
him/her which would be preferred. Some proctors are helpful if you know
what you are doing and some will just tell you 'as long as the solution
works, it'll be accepted.' Not very comforting if your config has to face a
grep for a specific string.

Assume there are multiple ways to solve a single task. I heard a "script"
checks the candidate's configs against a known good config solution for the
lab. Candidate's configs that don't pass the script check lose points. the
proctor gets a report from the script, and the script's report is good
enough for the proctor. If the script says FAIL the proctor starts on the
next candidates configs (great service for $1,400 bucks and 3,000 mile
flight, huh?)
Could someone please provide insight into come out on top in this process.
How do I know which way I should go if there are multiple correct solutions?
I will give an example. Which would the "script" probably like, which one
would it flag for grading proctor analysis? Could the script be nice, and
actually "accept" both?
Task -
"All packets larger than 1250 bytes arrving on Router6 G0/0 should be set to
precedence 3."
-two solutions come to mind.
