Bridging the gap between CCIE RS and SP

Reread

Filed under: CCIE SP — 21500 @ 11:49 am

After reviewing the lab score I opted for the reread. I was sure in the rush I lost some points due to not clearing some tcp based protocols after implementing the config. Coupled with that the bugs, I was convinced the score (at the minimum) would change. Today Cisco responded:

Regarding the re-read of your CCIE Lab exam taken 15-Sep-2009.

The re-read process is intended to verify that the original scoring was accurate according to the guidelines set by the CCIE Program. A re-read ensures that there were no major errors or proctor bias in your lab scoring.

A second proctor has reloaded your configs onto a rack and completely re-scored your exam. The retest result shows No changes in the original score.

Emphasis mine. Nice to know minor errors are acceptable in the grading process. So this means another SP lab and another exhausting trip. Just great :)
