Jan 14, 2009 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. August 8, 2008 On August 27, Cisco will introduce a pilot for the CCIE Routing and Switching lab exam in Beijing, China. The pilot will add a 10-minute interview that will assess the candidate's ability to apply expert-level networking skills and knowledge to networking problems that are encountered on the job. After the lab orientation, a panel of three experts will conduct a verbal interview with each candidate, asking a series of expert-level networking questions (questions and answers will be in English). The ability to correctly answer these questions will affect the exam score. After completing the interview, the candidate will have the entire 8 hours to complete the lab portion of the exam. These scores will then be calculated and then combined for a total score which will decide a pass or a fail. Our goal with this email is to let you know that your day will extend beyond the normal testing day by approximately one hour. The additional hour will be at the end of the day. We hope you find this interview process enlightening and helpful as we continue to strive for the standard the world has come to expect from CCIE. Last year, Cisco introduced the first pilot in Beijing, China. Now, the pilots cover the world wide range. Since August 27th, 2008, the Beijing pilot for the CCIE Routing and Switching lab exam has added a 10-minute interview, questions and answers are in English in order to completely check candidate's ability to apply expert-level networking skills and knowledge to networking problems. According to the feedback informaton of a customer, Pass4sure got to know that the interview first started with IP Video Phone. The Beijing examiner would first send the TOP diagram to the examinee, and then the English examiner would raised a question, the content contains QOS、EIGRP、BGP etc., all the knowledge points are TCP/IP Routing PaperⅠand Paper Ⅱ. We will provide some questions about Lab exam, maybe it helpful for your study. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2009-04-03 09:55:15 Post date GMT: 2009-04-03 01:55:15 Post modified date: 2009-04-09 14:26:20 Post modified date GMT: 2009-04-09 06:26:20 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
