This is something a lot of people, incluing myself, have found to be pretty frustrating, specifically that you don't find out what you did wrong, even if you pay for a rescore. At Networkers in San Diego, Parkhurst addressed the issue, and his answer to it was that the CCIE program is a testing program, not a training program. I don't know about you guys, but to me it'd be worth $250, even $500 easily to find out what I did wrong on the lab.
Since the labs are rotated out every thirty days, I don't see why they couldn't release this info thirty days after a lab attempt. Of course, I'm sure some schmuck somewhere would start collecting them and selling them or posting them somewhere.
Ok, I'm done ranting.
