Hi Guys,

I am kind of curious?

How much does the CCIE written exam prepares one for the Lab? What benefits
derived from the written exam are of great value in the Lab? In terms of
expectations, Knowledge tested, content, etc can it be truly said that the
CCIE written exam is a good foundation for the Lab? Just like the CCDA is a
foundation for CCDP and CCNA a foundation for CCNP.

Is the CCIE written exam more of a financial benefit to Cisco than it is a
benefit to the candidate's preparations to what is to be expected in the Lab
and in real life?

Can it be truly said that the CCIE written is the theoretical equivalent of
the Lab? How relevant are the materials presented at the written exam compared
to the Lab?

Is the written exam more of a mirage than a mirror of the Lab? It is called
the "CCIE qualifying Exam", Is that an achievement status or more an
administrative term?

IMHO, the Lab would have been alot more easier to pass at first attempt if the
written exam was at per with it.

Your contributions and options are welcome.

NOTE:
I am not out against anyone nor Cisco, I am purely seeking to know, in order
to put my expectations in proper perspective.

Thanks.
