I got one email from Cisco and some time ago there were some rumors
about this going to be there............
Changes to CCIE Lab and Written Exam Question Format and Scoring
Effective February 1, 2009, Cisco will introduce a new type of
question format to CCIE Routing and Switching lab exams. In addition
to the live configuration scenarios, candidates will be asked a series
of four or five open-ended questions, drawn from a pool of questions
based on the material covered on the lab blueprint. No new topics are
being added. The exams are not been increased in difficulty and the
well-prepared candidate should have no trouble answering the
questions. The length of the exam will remain eight hours. Candidates
will need to achieve a passing score on both the open-ended questions
and the lab portion in order to pass the lab and become certified.
Other CCIE tracks will change over the next year, with exact dates
announced in advance.
Effective February 17th, 2009, candidates will also see two other
changes in CCIE written exams. First, candidates will now be required
to answer each question before moving on to the next question;
candidates will no longer be allowed to skip a question and come back
to it at a later time. Second, there will be an update to the score
report. The overall exam score and the exam passing score will now be
reported as a scaled score, on a scale from 300-1000. This change will
not affect the difficulty of the current set of exams and will assure
CCIE written exams will be consistent with Cisco's other career
certification exams.
