Re: Lunch: 1 Person: $1400

Piyush,

        Ya piyush youare right! even I was in the same sitaution a month
ago.... I was pretty sure that I'll pass...But finally I failed in OEQ...
But I was very sure that I wrote everything right and didn't know what made
me fail. I wrote to Cisco regarding reread, the reply was re read is always
for small margin between pass and fail.... but from the report I can say
that I scored more than 63 in the lab out of 79.So, If I pass the OEQ I'll
be passed. But the margin is not in their limit for reread.. So I was denied
REREAD :(. No other go... I had to Admit that I failed and move on... Ya it
was the COSTLY LUNCH I ever had... that too I jus had a PINE APPLE JUICE for
$1400$ ROFL :P

ALL THE BEST BUDDY for your next attempt :)
