My hope for having questions prior to the lab (as it was when they were
verbal) was that those who failed them wouldn't get to attempt the lab and
thus permit the braindump providers' candidates to have more labs to add to
their materials.
The original objective (unstated officially, of course) of the verbal (now
written) questions was to stop braindump providers sending candidates into
the lab to memorize questions, and for the users of such materials to pass
having used them. Unfortunately, due to the need to formalize these
questions and offer them globally (rather than in targeted testing centers)
it seems that the first aim is less likely to be achieved.
That being said, I'm not concerned that legitimate students with CCIE level
knowledge and ability will still pass and students shouldn't be concerned
either. To that end the attention given to this section of the exam is
disproportionate and will hopefully abate soon.
Read your books, do your rack time and ask questions and with dedication to
the process a pass will eventuate (eventually). :)

personally, they only took me a couple of minutes to complete and I felt far
more relaxed having completed them prior to the lab. I know I wouldn't
want to do the questions after an 8 hour lab.
