Re: mobile lab pass

Hello Ruhann,

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) on your wonderful achievement and priceless
tips.

I was wondering the about OEQ provided by vendors , that are mostly one
or two words but as suggested by you and few of my friends who has taken the
exam recently out of which many failed and a few passed is the questions are
required to answer in few words to a line or two.

I think I would be a great idea if we all here should share our knowledge
about the OEQs without breaking the NDA ( although I do not have any in such
an aggrement as still i have to take lab :) ) , the vendors can frame the
questions on the same pattern.

Let me put what i know and please join with me :

1) The question are from Blueprint Topic - I think we have an excellent
detailed blueprint from Anthony and may be each topic/sub-topic can be
defined with a few lines

2) Everytopic shd be explained using descriptive words that are self
explanatory for the topic.
3) General pre requites for a technology to work.

its your turn now guys
