How Did You Do?

With the aid of the debrief section and full configurations and routing tables on the CD you, should now have an accurate evaluation of your lab. If you scored more than 80 points within the time frame (8 hours), you should congratulate yourself as you are well on the way to becoming a CCIE. You have demonstrated the ability to think laterally and confirmed an impressive knowledge of your subject. If you scored less than 80, don't worry; this will improve as you progress throughout the book and learn how to analyze each question and improve your core skills.

There were no major landmines in the lab, just a huge array of very complex questions that would make you configure quickly and quite possibly make errors.

For each question that you did not answer correctly, take the time to research the subject thoroughly and turn your weaknesses into your strengths. Research and plenty of practice will ultimately lead you to gain a passing score.
