Failed with 844

Hello,

I failed this morning with a 844 and a passing score of 849. Here is the breakdown:

Planning and Design 90%
Implementation and Operation 62%
Troubleshooting 90%
Technology 76%

I had a meltdown on the router sim question. I just could not remember a key command I needed to continue. I was freaking out so I skipped the question because it was taking too long and I was starting to panic. That was the difference. Of course the moment I was done I remebered the command I needed and felt like a real jacka$$.

So my questions are:

How can I improve in the theme Technology?
Do you get partial credit for some of the objectives of the routersim? I mean, if I had at least assigned some IPs to the switch would I have passed? I could have done that I suppose.
844 is how close? Less than one question? Two questions???

Very frustrated,

PS. I (me, not my company..in fact I am unemployed) paid 180 euros for this test (ouch). Thats about $220 US. How much do you guys pay?

I'd just recommend getting the labs down pat, so you won't be in a situation like that next time. The fact that the labs give you major points and only cover easy configurations, you could say that they are the easy part of the exam.

That was really close though, take it again as soon as you can. You usually get similar questions, similar labs, etc
I failed it on monday with a 700. Just brush up and read over everything again, so you can locate what your missing.
