The router simulation exam questions do not require candidates to save the configuration prior to exiting the simulation question to receive credit.

and the post below it says

My Instructor told me that the ? command did not work, but I tried it and it did.

In my case i got a trouble shooting question asking in which there were 3 routers. and the question asking "there was so-so company , hired some guy to setup the network and the routers cannot communicate. fix the network so that routers can communicate.... I fixed the netword and PINGED all the routers from each other. And proceeded to the next question WITHOUT saving config.

So if i was not correct how were the routers able to ping each other? and if Cisco is correct "that we need not save the config" then how is it possible that i got 40% in trouble shooting after i successfully completed the SIM(which carries the highest score!)

I didn't save config in my ccna test. pretty sure it's not required.

In the real world you wouldn't make changes and then walk away. It doesn't hurt to save the config. Even if it isn't required, I do for peace of mind.

It is not required, as explicitely mentioned on the cisco site.

I agree. I always assumed it was required for the same reason. And even though it isn't, I probably will save the config on my next Cisco sim, just a habit.
