IE Mock Lab dissapointment

Manual Grading

The CCIE Lab Exam is not a multiple choice exam. Instead, it is a highly complex exam with advanced protocol interactions that more often than not result in subjective answers. For this reason we do not run your configurations through a grading script to simply compare them with the solutions that we came up with. Each of your solutions are meticulously checked by hand by our highly skilled CCIE instructors. Once your exam has been graded you will be sent a detailed score report from our CCIE instructors. Sections that are marked incorrect include detailed feedback as to why there were incorrect, and typically include additional links to outside resources.

detailed score report : It was a simple 2 page report with some comments on my errors
detailed feedback as to why there were incorrect : The largest feedback on a section was 27 words, the smallest 3
additional links to outside resources : I wish i could have seen them

Solutions Guides

In addition to the detailed score report and lab breakdown you will receive a solutions guide broken down on a task-by-task basis for each Mock Lab Exam that you take. With this solutions guide format there is no need to sort through long configuration files to guess which configurations correspond to which task. The solutions guides show you not only the configuration for each task but also give important "show" outputs and explain how you can verify that your configuration is functional per the lab requirements.

lab breakdown : nice to have it, but not when some sections are out of date (refering to 2005)
