RE: IE Mock Lab 5

In hindsight, you won't make the IGP mistakes (assumption here) the next time and will get those later points. Did you perhaps get beat up on 9.1 TCP optimization and then on the NTP section? I lost out on both of those and I had pretty much memorized how to configure NTP w/authentication.

Like you said below, you had problems with interpretation. Your other scores are quite good, so you probably would have scored higher if you were able to query a person and see if your understanding of the question was right. I wouldn't get discouraged, use this lab as a learning experience and pat yourself on the back for the previous 3.

Just out of curiosity, how many volume II labs have you completed and how many times?

Ryan,

When I saw the results I was very surprised. It seemed like a lot of
the technologies that layered on each other I got wrong even though
the configuration of the 2nd layer was actually correct. I guess that
makes sense since technically it was not functional. I have asked the
proctor some follow up questions on parts that I think are correct,
well see what he says. But there wasn't anything that I thought I
really had problems with in any particular area. I think my biggest
problem is trying to figure out what it is they want. Like for
instance, I allowed all of ICMP in a question instead of just echo/
echo request. Its a lot of small stuff, but 50 out of 100 seems kind
of bad...

Not in the workshop, just taking them in order and heard that 4 is one
you want to stay away from so I skipped it. I have 3 more scheduled
in the last 4 weeks before the lab (Aug 20th lab date).

Thanks,
Gary
