I did check all of the services after I rebooted during the installation portion with chkconfig --list <service> for each of the required network services. There were all on for runlevels 3 - 5. I also did a service <Service-Name> status to make sure they were running...
As for IP Tables... I only used the Firewall GUI tool to allow the services by checking on them.
SELinux - I ran the SELinux Troubleshooter and corrected the error by using the suggestions listed.
To secure the services, I used tcp_wrapper as well.
you might misinterpreted a question requesting access/block to a service, but if you are pretty sure you did everything they said, this would be the case to ask for a test result revision!.

I know that time is short during the test and it's easy to feel like you need to rush...but trust me. If you take the time to make sure you understand EVERYTHING that is being asked of you, it will actually _save_ you time. Also Jangs mentions a good tip in his book "Don't do anything that isn't asked of you" (i.e. Don't overdo it).
Can you ask someone relevant/responsible,why you've failed?Wouldn't that be the best way to find out what's wrong?
Just do your best,that's what matters.
Red Hat Certification Central reports section scores to candidates.
We do not report performance on specific exam items.
As expected... there's really no way for me to learn from my mistakes.

Since you have already taken the RHCE and signed the same NDA as I, is it ok if I sent an e-mail of the RHCE with what I did? Then please tell me what I did wrong. You don't have to tell me the answers because I probably know it. I just need to find out what I did wrong so I can prevent it on the next test.
i emailed redhat a few times and yes, they were strict in their policy. I believed you might have lost marks on the firewall/selinux part. As far as I know, these are great deductions.
other than the gui, I think you also need to know the command line equivalent so as to double check on the results + the exact files to change and so on.

Thanks much!!!
I think it might be OK...but I don't want to risk it

Yes, SELinux is mentioned HEAVLY in Jangs book (and on the prep guide).
I know that I spent A LOT of time studying how SELinux works and how iptables work with various services... and FWIW I got a 100/92/96 and I MADE SURE (I had some extra time) that EVERYTHING was working when I left...

A quick google, and I can't find an exact copy of the RHCE NDA to point to. But, as you probably remember, he can't do that.
