RE: Failed CCIE SP lab and OEQ mystery feedback!

I read it in some document preparing for the SP by Cisco that your grading
will be based upon your final submission...meaning the proctor/grader will
NOT reload your routers before they do their things.
In RTP, the proctor reminds you of the time at the beginning of the lab, at
the end of lunch...ie, short lunch = shorter time, and numerous times toward
the end. But I did remember having problem with this time thing because in
my mind, it's 8-4 so it HAS TO END AT 4 NO MATTER WHAT. But that was only
my first time, I never made that mistake again.

I'm sorry to hear that it did not work this time but there is another chance
and I'm sure you will do it :o)
I was a bit surprised while reading your feedback because, at least on my
failed and also on the final LAB attempt, the time issue was always very
clear. Even though we also focused some delay, the proctor (which was really
very cool and helpful) made always very very clear how much time is left. He
always wrote it down on the wall and during the last 5 min he told every min
how much time is left. If I remember right, he did also give a hint
regarding saving the config. Saving config should be a big part of
everyone's "lab-strategy".

For all who are concerned about the time issue, yes there has to be proper
planning - at least in my case this was very crucial. INE and also IPE have
good tips on their blogs regarding this topic...

I wish you good luck for your next, "final" attempt

thanks for the feedback.
maybe ill try and drill through some RFC's before my attempt.

do the proctors give you any kind of warning when the time gets close?
How many OEQ's can you miss before you fail?
