Hi Steve!
First - by now I am sure you have really calmed down about this - and
that is great. Take solace in the fact that you are not alone. Many of
us have had this EXACT type of experience.
It does sound like task interpretation is your issue. You might not be
looking for the gotchas hard enough initially. I am blown away by the
fact that you had 3 HOURS to review things. Could you be going too fast
initially?
In the final version I passed - I only had about 30-45 minutes for
troubleshooting. Why? Because I went pretty carefully through the tasks
making sure I was not doing anything they would deem incorrect. I went
to the proctors several times to help ensure this. I can even remember
going to the proctor twice about the same task. On my second visit - he
cracked open the solution guide to ensure he was guiding me correctly.
Task interpretation really can be the killer, and there are many levels
to that. Some of us do not even start correctly (i.e. Distribute List
when they wanted something else) or we pick the right tool, but
misconfigure it based on our interpretation.
Let me know what I (we) can do to help - and keep at it! You WILL get
there.

Subject: Failed at RTP 2nd attempt
Yup, I failed on the 2nd attempt. I actually scored worse than my first
attempt which I was only about 5 points shy of passing. I was pissed
last night but I am getting over it now. My issue is question
interpretation. I finished the lab around 12:30 and had 3 hours to
troubleshoot I found a couple typos and screw ups and fixed those. In
the end I felt extremely confident that I had answered every question
correctly in reguards to how I interpreted them. And there in lies the
problem, I cannot seem to extract what solution they want from the
question.
This was a new test and I think the questions were extremely vague and
contradictory. I am not blaming Cisco here but I just don't know what to
do.
The lab I had on my first attempt was definetly passable but I just
wasn't prepared and didn't even answer 3 questions. If I had gotten that
lab on my second try I would have my numbers now.
Thanks,
Steve
