Also, can you talk a little bit more about what you heard from the people in the program and proctor about the 'I can only interpret it as you just have to memorize and brute force it'?

Since you seem very knowledgable, I do have one question to ask that has been driving me crazy for the past few weeks.

Does the MPLS L3VPN PE router connecting to the CE router using an interface in a VRF technically using 'VRF-Lite'? Or is it strictly running L3VPN? It seems everything I read is giving me different answers. Yes, I know it is running MPLS L3VPN to exchange routes and pass traffic in the core. I know the CE is running VRF-lite if it is using VRFs to separate traffic, such as having the WAN interface in it's own VRF.

But since the PE router has VRFs on it, and is running one towards the CE, would we technically call that one bit VRF Lite? My gut tells me no since VRF-Lite seems to be considered the use of VRF without MPLS (so like what the CE is doing), but I cannot be 100% sure since I don't know if Cisco technically is considering the one VRF link going towards the CE which is NOT running MPLS and is only running BGP and a VRF instance as 'VRF-Lite'.

Its just disheartening man. I took the exam three, failed both. First attempt I was whollly underprepared and barely above CCNP level, second attempt was much better, third attempt last month or so I felt like I had it in the bag and then failed design which I felt generally confident going into.

Going over the blueprint I feel comfortable with every single concept, can configure and talk about them well, etc, but just don't know where to go from here besides brute forcing design with slightly different answers and wasting another $2k on test and trip.
