When I got back from lunch I found that someone (I assume a proctor) removed
vlan assignments on ports for three routers.

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,

*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.........

*What you say?*

Thanks
