I agree with Hopalong.
I dont think its a good idea to try to box the lab exam into a set of rules.
The idea, as far as I can tell, is to make the candidate uncomfortable.
I have been personally told by a proctor that they want a candidate to have
at least 1 question on the exam that makes the candidate panic because they
have never implemented or experience a certain technology. He said, we know
you cant know everything, we want to see how well you resolve uncommon
situations, which is why you see some of these nutty configurations.
Its not just to evaluate what you know...Its to evaluate what you know under
pressure.

I have taking the exam 3 times and never found any specific thing difficult,
it was always the way the exam was structured or the amount of configuration
to be completed in a short amount of time. On my last attempt, I spent too
much time trying to draw diagrams at the recommendation of my instructor.
I believe that those diagrams were unnecessary and a waste of time because
they didn't help resolve a problem because the topology was very simple(in
my opinion). The diagrams provided were sufficient to solve the problems,
but I ran out of time because I spent almost an hour drawing all these
diagrams:
An L2 diagram
An L3 diagram
A redistribution diagram
A BGP diagram

And, they were beautiful diagrams, but ultimately unnecessary!
