CCIE SP LAB – MPLS VPN section scoring mystery
hey guys
i have been scratching my head in disbelief seeing my score in mpls vpn section.
finished the lab clearly 2 hrs before the time, verified everythng thoroughly…mpls VPN was working flawless…exactly asper the questions…end to end pings were successful as per question….didnt break any restrictions…inter-as csc everythng was as per question….then i see a score of 48% in mpls vpn section!
i have seen so many similar reactions from others who flunked the config section just because of mpls vpn section. there are so many who have such similar scores in mpls vpn section that i hv a feeling that we may be missing a bit ot trick somewhere.
what is it tht Cisco is looking for that people are missing?? its kind of impossible tht more than half of section is incorrect…after working for so many years on mpls, scoring pretty well on the mocks for mpls vpn and other sections…finding it the easiest in all for the SP lab, i’m clueless on any improvement.
to add to the mystery, i got 100% in multicast when i cudnt even ping! huhhhhhhhhh.
i missed two OEQs so i didnt go for a re-read but i had a strong feeling to go for the reread just for the mpls section scoring……….is it the case tht cisco takes the configuration scoring too lightly when the candidate fails the OEQ?
i’m desperatly looking for any tips that’ll help me in future ….specifically for the mpls vpn section….any specific verification step..anything.
thanks

Most likely you missed small details. that is the killer for most people. If everything was working then you missed something in one or more of the questions that was required.
Second part: Sometimes when it is clear that you haven’t passed the lab you may get inaccurate score reports on other sections. My thought is that if you are not close enough to pass the Proctors may not even go back to re-check the scripts grading.
At least that is my thought after having so many students report such strange results on their score reports. This is the only conclusion that makes logical sense to me.
