Re: What do you think - OEQ?

That brings up an interesting question as to how exactly these are scored.
 For example would he be given less credit than someone who did not
specify the default priority at all? In an interview I would consider the
candidate that was 1 too high to be more knowledgeable.

You are on the right track here for sure. In fact, I have had passing
students actually elaborate down two different paths because the Cisco
question was so vague. For example, their answer looked something like
this - "If you meant A with your question, the answer is B. But if you
meant C with your question, the answer is D." :-)

What you cannot do is write a novel. They have made it clear that they
will not even bother to read it.

Also, when elaborating, be very sure you are truly technically
accurate. I notice in your example below you have 32769*MAC. It should
be 32768 + MAC. :-)

We certainly do not want to inadvertently give the proctor another
reason to doubt our expertise!

Keep up the great work Molomo!
