I think you'll find things aren't really ambiguous at all. The confusion
(paranoia?) tends to come in when a specific solution is NOT spelled out,
and you have you choose how to do things!
But in the lab, IF you know the technologies and know your configuration
options, I don't think you'll have a problem at all.
As for the Masters' in English, while the exam is indeed delivered in
english, keep in mind that it's written by people who may or may not speak
english as a primary language. It is edited to NOT have little enligsh
quirks in there being a "global" exam. So I wouldn't worry about that part.
Just relax, and know that if you are fully aware of what your different
configurations are, the wording will make perfect sense. But if you don't,
then it will seem very strange and ambiguous.
Think about when you first started this networking thing, and I'm sure there
were some things you read which may as well have been written in some
martian language. Now, those same things make perfect sense. No
difference.

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
