Re: I thought I got open ended right until I got my result

Anthony said it true. some questions are "tricky" enough to divert you from
right answer or leading you to wrong answer.They need extra attention while
reading them .
Its all about how you interpret the question . If you are sure that you
provided correct answers and still Cisco says its wrong .
means you lost it while reading them .

Always remember reading a Question wrong means answer is also going to be
wrong as per exam point of view.

Its correct that Jeff Doyle both parts doesnt have QOS and some other stuff
.All you need to have is concept about thoery part.

Wish you good luck for next time .
