It's always interesting when Cisco adds something to the lab or takes it
away.
I read somewhere that a lab candidate would have to pass both the
oral/computer questions to say 80%... or fail.
In addition to the 80% on the lab itself.
Again this is speculation and rumors of a rumor.
And I heard someone else quote a notable quad CCIE here about that may have
said or be said to have said that the cumulative score would be used to
derive the 80% required to pass the lab.
Right now - everything is pure rumor and gossip.
