Joe, I just took mine yesterday, so here is the latest.
1. Putty was used for all connections 2. Every desk had their own work papers and bunch of color pencils/pens holder. 3. Placed switched off cell phones and any other things carried into lab room on a table in the middle of the room. 4. Was asked for one single photo id for identification (I was worried that I forgot my passport, but DL got me in) 5. Provided with a 12$ voucher that can be used for lunch in a cafeteria in next building. (was wondering if they have vegetarian optionsa nd they did hehe) Although I was told specifically not to do this, curiosity killed me as I wasted time trying to understand topology and a weird L2 issue during my configuration section which I knew how to fix and eventually did that workaround after wasting 1hr. So avoid that and if you know how to fix it, go ahead with that fix and come back to the problem when you complete other sections. I felt all configurations sections were achievable with proper speed and correct layer 2 foundation. I was not quick enough in TS section either, I solved 8 tickets in 1 hr 50mins and 2 tickets left with 10minutes, so could not complete those last 2.
