RE: What is it that they want huh ?

Hi Sebastian,

In my seven years of helping candidates to pass the CCIE Routing and
Switching lab I have seen technically able and speedy candidates do well and
do poorly on our graded assessments. Some of the differences I have
observed:

1. Those who do well read each task four times: at the beginning of the lab,
as they perform the section, when they finish the section and again when
they have finished the lab.
2. If they see two ways of doing something that appear to be acceptable,
they seek clarification with the proctor.
3. They know how to get helpful answers from the proctor.
4. They know what they are there for: to pass the lab, not to show how much
they know about networking.

Do exactly what they ask for. If there is ANY doubt what they are asking
for, ASK!
