Will they be changing the name of the 'CCIE Lab' to 'CCIE inquisition
and Lab' now then? :o)

Yeah, I also got a similar email from learning@cisco. I have my 3rd
attempt
scheduled on 26th Jan 2009. I am wondering if they will introduce this
viva
or so called "open-ended questions" after 1st Feb or could even do it
before
the deadline?
If anyone could shed some more light on it, then it would be greatly
appreciated.
Regards,
Niks.
