Re: Should I request a reread?

My suggestion would be to explain the question and both of your answers to
the question if you are going for the reread. This would show you really
understand all the options and the question and also point out to the reread
proctor that maybe this question is worded strangely.

As far as my overall interpretation of the reread I would make sure that
troubleshooting can even be reevaluated. Do you have the reread bubble as
an option on the score report? I know that rereads hardly ever succeed, but
if I thought I was one question away I would do it. If you know for a fact
that a single section will get you the pass it's worth it to me. You never
know what you will get for the next test and in my opinion some of the labs
are not passable. It might take several more attempts before you get the
right lab for you.
