I don't think that masters degree in English will help. These labs are
written by many proctors/cisco CCIE lab team who are from different
geographical locations and English might be their 2nd or even 3rd
language.

So, IMO when those proctors/lab team write these papers they try to make
wordings as simple as possible however, because of its very nature
somehow it might be dificult to understand those wordings by us.

But one thing is for sure that technical statements will always be
tricky to understand but they will definitely be within the scope of R&S
domain.

If they will write that configure CIR 256kbps or Etherchannel with PAGP
support or Redistribute OSPF into RIP at Router 3 with Metric 3, then
this test will be slightly above CCNA in difficulty level.

Subject: Ambiguities in CCIE Lab Tasks

Hi,

I have been reading and hearing quite a lot these days about the real
CCIE lab using ambiguities to trick candidates or lead them down the
wrong paths.

As far as I'm concerned, I think this is not fair or a good way of
testing technical skillsets and experience.

However, given that the real lab is now a lab of ambiguities in wording,
does anyone have suggestions on how candidates preparing for the lab can
handle this 'problem' too.

I know vendor workbooks help with the mastery of technologies, etc. But
what would help to cope with the ambiguities? Not the proctors, I know.

Perhaps a Masters degree in English Literature - :))

Let me know your suggestions.

Regards,

Felix
