Does anyone know how much of the overall score at the end of the day is
given to these questions? I may have misunderstood some of the posts but
it sounds like if you fail on the questions then you have no (or at
least a very small) chance of passing the lab?
Do you think this may turn out to be similar to the original 2-day lab
where if a candidate didn't pass the grade on the first day they were
told to not come in for the second i.e. if you don't reach a certain
score on the questions then the proctor will tell you your better off
leaving now?

I would discount it as one department not keeping up with the others.

Since I do not see this on the official Cisco CCIE news web site,
http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/announcements/index.html
I have to discount it as rumor.

Changes to CCIE Lab and Written Exam Question Format and Scoring
Effective February 1, 2009, Cisco will introduce a new type of question
format to CCIE Routing and Switching lab exams. In addition to the live
configuration scenarios, candidates will be asked a series of four or
five
open-ended questions, drawn from a pool of questions based on the
material
covered on the lab blueprint. No new topics are being added. The exams
are
not been increased in difficulty and the well-prepared candidate should
have
no trouble answering the questions. The length of the exam will remain
eight
hours. Candidates will need to achieve a passing score on both the
open-ended questions and the lab portion in order to pass the lab and
become
certified. Other CCIE tracks will change over the next year, with exact
dates announced in advance.
Effective February 17th, 2009, candidates will also see two other
changes in
CCIE written exams. First, candidates will now be required to answer
each
question before moving on to the next question; candidates will no
longer be
allowed to skip a question and come back to it at a later time. Second,
there will be an update to the score report. The overall exam score and
the
exam passing score will now be reported as a scaled score, on a scale
from
300-1000. This change will not affect the difficulty of the current set
of
exams and will assure CCIE written exams will be consistent with Cisco's
other career certification exams.
