RE: Pearson Vue

This is the first go. If this works out well, who knows, maybe we'll see
it available at all professional VUE test centers.

Thats a good move. it will help every one to be able to save time and
money by going to VUE. Any one knows about availability on other places?

Muzammil,

I had the same question when this was announced. The test should be
written in a way in that you don't have questions that would require a
CCIE (or technical person) as the proctor. If the exam is solid, and I
believe it will be, then it should work fine - and if you have
questions/comments/concerns during the exam, I'm sure you'll be able to
leave them somewhere as feedback. The exam team at Cisco has spent a lot
of time preparing for this and I'm made sure they have these types of
details thought out.

Hi Guys

I am booked to take R&S lab on the 19th April in London through Pearson
Vue.
I received an email yesterday from Vue which was essentially preparing
me
for the exam,
punctuality, lunch etc. etc.

The interesting thing I noticed was that they has a section for proctors
and
this is what it says

Role of Proctors
"The PPC proctors are trained and instructed on proper management of the
testing experience, but are not professional network engineers. You may
not
ask the proctors questions about the exam content or ask them to clarify
a
question you do not understand. Their role is to manage the testing
facility, ensure exam security and escalate any connectivity issues to
Cisco
engineers located offsite."

Now I have only had one attempt before and my proctors were both CCIEs.
This
also seems to be saying that they will not clarify questions and it
sounds
like they will not understand the questions anyway.

Should i be worried about asking the proctor to clarify certain things
and
this is just rules for rules sake or do you think that I will have to
ignore
the proctor until I have a hardware problem etc.? Or am I wrong to think
that the proctor should clarify certain things in the first place.
