CCIE Test Core section

One more thing, I know that are lots of confusions about the core section of the test. Mostly, what kind of answer should you submit short one or long one.

Here is my opinion.

I took version 3.0 end of june last year. I submitted short answers (1 sentence each) to my questions, and I failed the core section.

This time for each of the questions I had wrote 4-6 sentences, and I passed. I think even though you are not exactly sure what is the answer they looking for but you can explain that you kind of know what they are asking you for by writing little bit more you will PASS.
