Re: My 1st attempt is Friday...

* The questions are manually graded by a proctor. If you purchase an exam
re-read, they will re-grade your question responses.

Hi Larry, whats the meaning of the above statement then?

May be cisco has re-thaughts on this section?
Also what i heard before was you have to score full in this section for
Pass.. but now it is said that one question fail is OK for passing?

Did i mistaken the replies?

Regards,
Thameem
