Re: My 1st attempt is Friday...

Hi Thameem!

If you receive 4 questions - you may miss only 1.

If you receive 5 questions - 1 is a BETA question and does not count,
so in that case you can miss 2.

So far the only official statement regarding a re-read that I have
seen from Cisco states that when you purchase a re-grade, they do
indeed re-read the questions.

Warmest Regards,
