Mounir,
Whether Cisco uses same script or not, proctor marks it or not, is
anyone's best guess.
From official Cisco statement:
http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/rs/lab_exam.html
"The labs are graded by proctors who ensure all the criterion are met
and points are awarded accordingly. The proctors use "automatic tools"
to gather information from the routers "to perform some preliminary
evaluations", but the "final determination" of a correct or incorrect
configuration is "done" by a "trained proctor"."
From another official Cisco statement:
http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/preparation/assessor_details.
html#3
"As in the actual lab exam, each question has specific objectives and an
expected configuration. Performance is evaluated and scored similar to
actual CCIE lab exams."
I would say, concentrate on your methodology, techniques and skills,
Cisco Assessor lab is the closest you can get to, no one (except the
proctors and other members of the Cisco CCIE certification group) knows
the details of how the exams are marked (viz-a-viz scripts vs proctor),
well officially! All people can speculate are just that ... Best guess!
Many Thanks
Yemi Salau

Dear All,
Yes I agree, Cisco CCIE Assessor teach you how they verify your
solution and how you gain your points, but i have one questions
regarding the real lab marking, is Cisco using the same script (used
in assessor lab) or the proctor doing by himself!!!
Best Regards,
Mounir Mohamed
