I wonder how a simulation question is graded?

For example, if a question for a CCNA level exam states, that you must
configure an ethernet interface, how is the answer graded. What if you do
configure the interface properly, ie. ip address 172.5.5.1 255.255.255.0 but
you forget to enter the no shutdown command after that? Does the system give
you 50% (since you got half of it right), 0% (since you did not enter the no
shutdown command), or 100% (since you entered the interface addressing
correctly). 

Also, What happens if you realise after you've configured the interface and
got out of configuration mode, that you forgot to do a no shutdown ... If
you go back into interface configuration and enter the no shutdown, is the
answer than deemed correct, or do you get maybe 75% for the question since
you took way to many steps to do this.

If I could illustrate:-

Optimised Configuration steps
Conf t
Int e0
Ip address 172.5.5.1 255.255.255.0
No shutdown
Exit
wr
Sh int

Not-so optimised configuration steps
Conf t
Int e0
Ip address 172.5.5.1 255.255.255.0
Exit
Sh int
Conf t
Int e0
No shutdown
Exit
wr
Sh int

Does anybody know how Cisco grades the questions?

Is it the Cisco way or no way? :)

Thanks

As far as I know, certain commands can be used to test your configurations.
For example, you always want to do a "no shut" after configuring an
interface. Then you can check the configuration with a "show interface"
command and you should see an up/up status if your configuration is correct.
