Let my chip in and give my 2c. Disclaimer: This might have changed since last I wrote (Jan 2010)
In my first attempt I failed the dial plan miserably and got 0, which in itself, is a section that if you get 0, getting 100% for the rest still isn't enough to pass. Yet I had sections marked throughout with some 0, some perfect and some in between all the way to the end. On my second attempt, I failed the OEQ section, which also if you can remember is a "fail this and you fail the exam" section. Still, the rest of my exam was scored all the way through. During lunch I realized that I made a mistake on my OEQ's and would fail, and asked the proctor what the policy was, and it was quite the reverse from what the perception is on this forum. He said. if you have earned enough points to pass you, they stop marking. You've passed. But they will keep marking all the way through if you have not. And after my first attempt, I couldn't believe getting 0 for dialplan, as I tested and tested everything, except for one question which I couldn't get working. So thought at the least, I should get a few marks for that section. But then spent a lot of time trying to figure out what I did wrong in dial-plan, and sure enough the error was with me. There was one small little thing that I did not include in any of my dialplan answers that bit me and got me a zero. Second time around, I just read the questions a lot more thoroughly and my dial plan score was great! Still didn't have enough to pass, but at least I had gained the belief that if a section was scored badly, I needed to pay attention to that area.
