Re: What do you think - OEQ?

Hi All

I would have probably answered this question as:

Whichever switch had the higher bridge ID ..

I have now done the OEQ twice and done well in both lab attempts.. - Failed
the Lab but passed the OEQ .. The guidelines say "most questions should take
an answer of 4-5 words.". but i have had a question which took a few
sentences to provide a clear answer.. I also prescribe to the theory of dont
over-elaborate as this can introduce silly mistakes which can cause a
proctor to have a reason to fail you on the question.

I wonder how many are failing the OEQ and passing the LAB ??
My problem is interpretting the questions i think.... cant fi that i dont
think and now out of money/time for a re-attempt so my dream of ccie is
fading fast !

anyhow good luck everyone.. this is just my two bobs worth ...
