Open ended questions need to be scored fully. If there are four
questions, all of them should be correct. Then only you would be able to
pass. So this is what Narbik said during the bootcamp..
This can be treated like a Task in the CCIE lab exam , where you will get
points if your answer were all correct in that section.
Also, this can be treated as Task with a score of 21, which means even
if you score 100% in the lab you will fail bcos your score will be 79
only, if you take it altogether... So no shortcut for becoming CCIE..
Back to labs again..Bye

Open Ended Questions
Hi All, I was actually trying to avoid talking about the Open Ended
question, because I don't know what the NDA even allows me to discuss or
not
discuss about them and even though I just had them I still don't know much
about how they are used in the testing process. I will say that
personally
the questions were not difficult, but I'm sure that there's is a very huge
pool of them so in my opinion there's no telling what a person may get. I
still don't even know how they're graded or how that grade, if it exists,
affects your overall lab results. Maybe they're being vague about things
on
purpose...I don't know. They are, just as their name implies, open-ended.
No multiple choice...no interviews...just questions that you read and
provide a typed response to. I agree with Cisco's statement, that CCIE
candidates *should *be able to answer them without much difficulty, but
what
if someone just so happens to get the handful of questions that they
hadn't
prepared for as much as they should have even though they may have spent a
year or more studying / testing / labbing? I'm sure something needs to
be
done if there are integrity problems with the lab material, but I just
don't
know that these open ended questions is the solution they're looking for.
