Hi, I believe this is in reference to the fact that you could have completed a tonne of core topics (i.e. Layer2 and routing) then in the Security section applied an acl as per the lab and inadvertently broke routing from before and not noticed. If you do the IPExperts or InternetworkExperts lab strategy videos they cover this well. Also, both vendors lab books have labs where this issue shows up and you can learn from that too ...

*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.........
