Re: R&S v4.0 Points

A Masters Degree gets you nothing!

Just kidding!

Here is the deal - you do not have to perfect to achieve the cert in this format. To review....

You may miss one of four Core Knowledge questions.

You may miss 20% of the Trouble Tickets.

You may miss 20% of the Configuration tasks.

As our own Petr L. pointed out here in GS some time ago - this is a tougher format. But, while tougher, it does not require perfection, and it is passable. You will see the passing score reports begin this month I am willing to bet.

:-)
