If you got 500 and need 650 do you really think you'll be in a position to
take it on Monday?
Failing never feels good, I've failed an exam a time or two.
But I think you should suck back and reload. If you needed that info this
time what makes you think those questions won't come up again?
As far the MGX/BPX/IGX series of switches go, the lack of info has been
talked about on this list before. Personally, I was thankful that the Boson
test had questions on those switches and I was somewhat prepared for them.
As to SNA and Token Ring, it's out there and a designer has to deal with it.
It's still on the CCIE ticket so you may as well know it now.
It is always a challenge to work someplace that doesn't give you the
exposure you need to advance but that's what self-study/courses/renting rack
time/personal lab... are all about.
I'm not really getting down on you but it sounds like you didn't expect the
exam to kick your @ss. There have been many posts here that the CID is not
any "normal" exam.
If you go for it on Monday - good luck, but save yourself more grief - get a
Boson prep exam.
