Re: FYI - CCIE Lab Prototype Review -

Let's not get the cart too far in front of the horse here... While it's
fun to speculate on things (or make a few things up here and there),
there's a far cry from doing a beta/prototype to see about electronic
delivery options and perceptions versus "we're going to roll this out
tomorrow".

Relax, sit back and prepare for the lab you currently have.

There are over 300 Pearson Professional Centers worldwide, and there may
be some differences from where current lab centers are. For right now,
the CCDE is the ONLY practical exam delivered at centers like this.
