TSHOOT Passed
Scored 986/1000 (The 14 points were most likely 1 or 2 of the MC/DND questions at the beginning of the exam).
The first 2 tickets went fine, but on the 3rd Ticket I couldn't find the Technology that I knew was the problem (2nd Section) and ended up having to abort the ticket. That threw me off until I got a couple of tickets that I knocked out quickly. I ended up coming back to Ticket #3 after I finished all the other tickets. I did some more troubleshooting, which only confirmed my original answer. Finally, I had a thought...the screen is kinda ("kinda" is a huge understatement) small...I wonder if there are more choices off the bottom of the screen. Sure enough, I was able to scroll down and found the technology I was looking for. I had the right solution the whole time and just never thought to see if there were more choices off the screen. Strangely, it will let you use "sh run", but a number of show commands that I tried were not available.

Yea seriously, what's up with the small arse screens at these test centers. A 23" or 24" widescreen monitor, with decent resolution isn't that expensive these days. It really does make these exams tedious, especially with the layout of the SIMs.Current Study Discipline: CCIE Data Center

You know, I had this same experience, but I didn't realize it until after I had already closed about 10 tickets or so... Talk about a gut sinking feeling. Must not have mattered too much, because I scored the same as you did.
Congrats on the pass, you earned it

Well, the testing centers don't make a huge profit on the exams themselves, so there's that.
Congrats on the pass though! -
