I prefer the 2-day lab as well (even though I sat and passed the 1 day
lab)
If you were in Cisco's shoe, instead of taking 1day to test 1 CCIE
candidate, now you need 2 days, their 'revenue' from the lab exam will
be reduced by half...
Don't forget it's USD1350 per exam X number of seats X number of center
worldwide X number of days in a year open for testing
If my calculation is correct, it's at least a USD20mil business (1 day
lab)...

I would rather have a two day CCIE number. The two day lab is definitely
harder. It is 2 days! Despite your know how and ability to pass day one
you
could get tripped up by something stupid, like a gum wrapper wrapped
around
a a cable contact. Cisco ditched the two day format because they felt if
you
could build the lab, you should be able to troubleshoot it as well. On
top
of that, do any of you think you could pass the lab reading merely cisco
press books? There were not many vendor workbooks back in those days;
thus
much much harder to learn the relavant info, thus less people passing
the
lab, and thus a much more difficult overall endeavor. I would love for
cisco
to bring back the two day lab. That would solve the problem of cheaters
and
braindumpers. There is no way a braindumper would be able to
troubleshoot
that rack on day 2 :) Bring it back Cisco!!
