We had this discussion just this week. I offered that I like to shut
everything down using the interface range command and then enable things
individually as I configure/verify. It occurred to me yesterday as I was
starting a new lab that the other advantage this has is ensuring that you
don't forget to shut your physical ports when doing PortChannels.
At the end of the day, it's not a big overall impact one way or the other.
Just pick an approach you're comfortable with and stick with it always...

Well I think if the port is 'unused' in it's purest sense then it's probably
shutdown anyway to be fair.
Main thing is of course to follow requirements but also to apply common
sense
as well as best practice. If making sure an interface is shut down helps you
out then I would say do it. Just makes sure you don't break something you
need!

I think you will be wasting your time doing this. On the contrary , you
might have to unshut some ports to get your topology working. My advice is
not
to spend time doing tasks that are not required in the exam because you will
need every minute of it. No marks for perfection!!!
