About 10% of people pass on the first attempt. Josh Loveless, one of the
guys who posted just a couple days ago about passing was one of those first
attempt passes.
I think that Cisco proctors have better things to do than deliberately fail
people. While the allure of the certification is nice, I think its
complexity does that all by itself. ;)
Best of luck! (make sure it's fresh tinfoil. Used stuff doesn't work as
well)

Funny you ask. A while back I posted a similar question.
It is my opinion that Cisco deliberately fails people for two reasons:
1. Money - $1250 a person x dozens of candidates a day = mucho dinero.
2. It helps maintain the allure of the certification. If the test was easy
people wouldn't value it as much.
I personally know several brilliant people who have taken the test 2-3 times
before they passed. How many people actually pass on their first try? Maybe
.1%?
Oh well - let me put my tin foil hat back on and study some more...
