“Proctor, Proctor, give me the news, I got a bad case of Multicast blues!”
Are the proctors helpful or not? Many have plenty of opinions on this. At the very least, let’s consider some tips that might help us in working with them…
Be polite! If you are
confrontational, they are going to be far less likely to care about you and your
silly question about the lab ? An example of politeness that I used was to
always preface my question with a comment like “I am so sorry to bother you…” or
“May I take a moment of your time?”
Demonstrate your mastery of
the subject matter in your question. Politely stress that your issue is
vagueness or grammar in the task - DO NOT give any indication that it is the
material you are struggling with. And while you might be a bit upset that the
grammar in the lab is poor, certainly do not go to great lengths to point that
out! The proctor you are speaking to may have written that task, and they might
take great pride in it! Here is an example of demonstrating your mastery on a
subject - “Sir, I am considering the use of Root Guard for this task as I
believe it meets the requirements, yet I am concerned about the request that the
interface must be Shut Down by a violation. Technically Root Guard does not do
this. Root Guard blocks the port using what is termed a root-inconsistent state.
Is it still a viable solution even though I am not truly shutting down the
port?” You are going to get a lot further with the proctor that way then this
way - “Should I use Root Guard for this task?”
Do not be afraid to visit a
proctor two or three times about the same question. I did this in the Multicast
section and eventually got the guidance I needed.
If you are getting nowhere
with a particular proctor, try another one if that is possible at your testing
center.
Immediately following a lab
attempt, spend some time with the proctors to pick their brains about ways you
can improve, their grading system, etc. They are very willing to help
typically!
Do not attempt to bribe your
proctors. They might take your money - BUT THEY DO NOT GRADE YOUR EXAM! Someone
in another time zone grades your exam! ?
