Re-read. The difference between the configuration exam you took and the exam that others, including myself took is 4 questions (no, I'm not talking about OEQs) with 30 minutes less... So, that really brings it down to 2 questions.

> I see why you getting all ticked off.. you actually got your # during that period! Interesting :)

I'm just calling a spade a spade.

> As I said and as you have just said that 1 out of 4 questions is difficult so that means you should be able to get 3 right and have 21 points on the table?

I said at least, it's still based on the interpretation of the proctor.

>Now you still have what 7 hours left? and you have to grab 59 points. so if you are strong @ L2/L3 (looking at the V3 feedback from GS) you should be able to score 40-44 points. What that leaves you with is? 17 odd points from REST OF THE EXAM! Enough time to look through DOCCD and pick points where you think you are good with.

Let's do some math here, if the questions were worth mostly 3 points for you and mostly 2 points after OEQ's, then after L2/L3 you would have 60-66 points, leaving you with 17 odd points from the REST OF THE EXAM! This is an exaggeration of course, and I see that, can you?

> Are you telling me that is not easy? Come on you have got to be kidding me. You passed GREAT! but don't tell me it was not easy.

I think your lab was easy, the CCIE has been labeled by many instructors as long series of easy tasks. The truth is that you really have no idea what my lab was like and I really have no idea what your lab was like.

> Once again I am glad you worked hard and got your # but still easier than folks who did it BEFORE feb 09 (had to score 80) or after Oct 18th.

> Take it for what its worth but truth hurts :)

Is this in reference to my comment earlier?
