Hi Monica,
I would think that #7 is referring to a section later in the lab workbook
that might affect an earlier section. If you config XYZ in a section late
in the day it could break section ABC that you configured early in the
morning. You will get points for XYZ but you will lose your points for ABC.
That is why Cisco tells you in tip #1 to read the whole lab. I would doubt
that any proctor would break your config while you are at lunch unless you
are wearing a Juniper shirt. : )
Thank you,
Bill Burns

*TEN TIPS FOR TAKING THE LAB EXAM*
1. Read the entire exam first and check for addressing issues. Do not
skip any details or sections.
2. Manage your time. Make a plan to cover all the sections in the time
provided. Work out how much time you will spend on each section, keeping
in
mind the point value of the questions. Don't forget to allow time at the
end
to verify your solutions.
3. Clarify the requirements of each question. Don't assume
requirements that aren't mentioned in the question. During the lab, if
you
are in any doubt, verify your understanding of the question with the
proctor.
4. Do each question as a unit. Configure and verify before moving to
the next question. You may want to redraw the topology with all the
details
available. This will help you visualize and map the network.
5. Troubleshoot. You must know how to troubleshoot using the tools
available. Although troubleshooting is important, don't lose too much
time
working on a 2- or 3-point question. If you're caught off-guard by an
unfamiliar topic, don't let it absorb too much time. Work on the things
you
are more comfortable with and go back to difficult items later.
6. Keep a list. During the exam, make notes on configurations and
settings as you move through the exam. Make a separate list for items you
have not been able to address or where you have not achieved the desired
result which you'll need to revisit.
7. Test your work. *Never rely on a configuration done in the early
hours of the exam.* *There is a possibility that an item you
configured a few sections earlier can become broken and non-functional
*. Keep in mind that points are awarded for working configuration
only.
8. Save your configurations often.
9. Don't make any drastic changes in the last half hour of the exam.
10. Speed is vital on the exam. Review and practice core material the
week before the exam to ensure you can move quickly through the less
challenging questions.
Can anyone Understood what Cisco says on 7th tip
Is it engage troubleshooting part which fashioned by CISCO ?
People says you will analyze your configuration difference before BREAK and
AFTER break ? Is it ?
I hope, by this email I am not going to break NDA rule.........
