Cisco is now offering a CCIE practice lab exam and assessment, developed by CCIE program managers to simulate the format and difficulty of the actual CCIE lab exam. During the four-hour CCIE Assessor Lab, candidates access live Cisco equipment and practice lab scenarios from their own desktop using a Web-based lab management tool. After completing the practice lab, users receive a detailed assessment of their performance, including configuration tips, correct command lines, and suggestions for further study.
The CCIE Assessor Lab for Routing and Switching is available to candidates worldwide using standard Web access tools. For a limited introductory period, Cisco will offer CCIE Assessor Lab for US$279, a discount of US$70 off the list price. Online purchase and scheduling of the four-hour sessions are available beginning December 12, 2005.
