I for one don't know about the tests getting easier, but on my first
attempt I had plenty of difficulties (and failed), by my second attempt
I had very few technical difficulties (failed for other reasons), my
3rd attempt was like a walk in the park, but the actual test was more
challenging than the previous 2.
I sat down and came to the conclusion that if I knew what I knew on
attempt 3, when I took the lab the first time..I'd have finished day 1
in an hour or 2.
the bottom line is brain surgery is easy to a brain surgeon, a dunk is
easy to vince carter...umm the lab should be easy to a CCIE, not so?
