Core Knowledge Questions Now on All CCIE Labs

Effective January 4, 2010, the CCIE. Service Provider, Storage, and Wireless
Lab Exams will add a new type of question format in a section called Core
Knowledge. In this new section, candidates will be asked a series of
four open-ended
questions which require a short written response be entered into the
computer--typically several words. The questions will be randomly drawn from
a pool of questions on topics eligible for testing. Candidates can review
the topics by visiting the CCIE track information on
Cisco.com<http://cisco.com/>or Cisco Learning Network. No new topics
are being added as a result of this
change. Candidates will have up to 30 minutes to complete the Core Knowledge
section and may not return to it once they have moved on. A passing score on
the Core Knowledge section is required to achieve certification. Core
Knowledge questions were implemented on Routing and Switching labs in
February 2009, Security labs in June 2009, and Voice labs in July 2009, and
allow Cisco to maintain strong exam security and ensure only qualified
candidates are awarded CCIE certification. Candidates with exam
datesJanuary 4, 2010 or later should expect to see the new question
format on
their lab exam.
