About the time they switched to the 1-day lab, Cisco did a webcast with (I
think) ccbootcamp. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, it was about
an hour long, and discussed many of the things that were being taken out of
the 2 day lab. They did talk about things like the diagram, as well as what
was 'probably' being dropped from the R&S lab and put into the Security lab,
like MPLS and VPN. Don't quote me on those, it's been months since I've
heard it. Since it was Cisco's own CCIE program people there, I would
assume there couldn't be anything violating the NDA on the webcast. Anyone
got the link???

Should you be discussing what was part of the exam?

I think this is a matter of opinion that one has to discover during the lab.

i concur.

i heard so many people fussing and fretting over pencil crayons, markers
and diagramming that i took *everything* today for my first attempt.

so many times i heard that a candidate should immediately:

1) read the entire labs from start to finish

2) draw your diagram in detail before you even attempt any configs

well, number 2 (from my point of view) was a complete waste of time -
very precious time.

diagramming is no longer part of the exam (as it was for the 2-day) and
the diagrams provided are complete (albeit black and white vs. full,
glossy, colored works of art). all the information needed for every
exercise was there. i never even referred to my diagram once after i
drew it and detailed it with information and addresses.

maybe there are some artists out there that would disagree with me -
that's their choice. all i know is when i go back, it won't be with
anything but a picture id.
