Someone would really need to know how many people attempted the lab before
making an assessment. One contributing factor could be that there is a
smaller number of people attempting the lab in light of all the things going
on in the world right now. Not to mention the economic factors. I personally
know of a few candidates that pushed their lab dates back.
Now I'm going out on a limb here but another contributing factor could be
that they put out new labs with some new topics. This would cause the pass
rate to fall also. These labs would include topics that aren't in any of the
CCIE Prep materials. The way to tell if this is true is just watch and see
if we get e-mails to the list asking about these new topics. Granted someone
shouldn't sent it out to the list (NDA violation) but someone inevitably
would.
Most people predicted that the numbers would drop off at first with the new
one-day lab. Also you might want to take into account how many e-mails have
been sent from people who didn't pass the new one-day lab.
