Not to be a stickler but I think confirming ANYTHING on the exam could constitute an NDA violation. I would strongly advise not continuing with this thread as the line could blur inadvertently.

IMHO.

This will not break NDA what protocols are you talking about. I am not
asking about the questions. Whatever is on the blueprint will be the
protocols you will be tested on. You would be surprised how many businesses
and companies still run older technologies. I am not meaning this mean I am
just curious what protocols you are talking about. You can say I got ospf on
the test and framerelay that is not breaking the NDA just dont say the
question.

Its not about hard or not, i just was not prepared for legacy protocols and
i dont think i should waste time on it, there are a lot of other stuff to
cover.

I am trying to put priorities, thats all

I would worry about why it was hard and not that it was hard. There is the
possibility to get it again. The point is to be able to do anything they
throw at you.

Hi Kasper,

I understand your point. I just passed my CCIE (RnS) in 3rd attempt about
a week ago. My brother is a double CCIE (Security and Voice track). When he
appeared for his 2nd attempt in Voice, he got the same lab which he got in
his 1st attempt. So I would say chances are very slim but still you should
look into your weaker areas.

You guys did not get my point.

I am not waiting for the exam to repeat, i do not want to get the same
exam
on my second attempt, there were legacy technologies there that i was
surprised to see so i hope on my second attempt i would get new stuff
that i
am already more familiar with.

Exactly Ron, at the end of the day he has to work as a CCIE.

Sorry to say that I actually met someone who passed due to his
strategy.
He memorized the questions from his first attempt and kept going back
until
he got the same lab. Took him about 6 tries.

There aren't that many versions of the lab. This was back in 04...so
maybe there are more versions now.

I have less respect for him though...

Well, I guess there are limited number of exams(say it is N). And I
suppose Cisco will not reuse an exam that has been previously taken by
you.
So the chance of getting a repeated exam is after you have attempted
all
versions and failed them all. At your N+1 attempt, you will get a
repeated
exam for 100%. so get yourself enough money (That is N x $1300), you
will
definetly pass eventually. ^_^ It all depends on how big the N is...

Hello everyone,

I hope my question doesnt break an NDA.

I didnt make it in the first attempt and i am wondering what are the
chances
of me seeing the same exam i saw the first time in my second attempt?

Thanks,
Kas
