Wow I'm not sure how you came up with your numbers. Did you even take the
lab? It doesn't end at 4:30 in San Jose that's for sure. Troubleshooting
is only 2 hours? I know I didn't get a 2.5 hour lunch. When I said 16
hours it wasn't meant that is how long you are in the actual lab with the
equipment. I merely meant that is the length of time for the entire exam.
Day 1 morning 9-12 = 3 hours
Day 1 afternoon 12:30-5 = 4.5 hours
Total Day 1 = 7.5 hours
Day 2 morning 9-12:30 = 3.5 hours
Day 2 afternoon 2-5 = 3 hours
Total Day 2 = 6.5 hours
Total for current format = 14 hours
New format
Day 1 morning 9-12 = 3 hours
Day 1 afternoon 12:30-6:30 = 6 hours
Day 2 ......(oops they forgot to include a 2nd day in the new format)
Total for Day 1 = 9 hours
I suppose if you think that TS is not important and that a CCIE shouldn't
have to know how to do troubleshooting the lab length is almost the same.
IMHO, TS is the only part that really tests real world experience. So,
pretty soon we will have a bunch of labs rats that can configure most
anything but don't know how to fix it.
