Re: OT - CCIE Lab Exam Policy

The exact wording on the page <http://goo.gl/TvDZX>:

*Written Exam: Expiration*
Candidates must make an initial attempt of the CCIE lab exam within 18
months of passing the CCIE written exam. Candidates who do not pass must
re-attempt the lab exam within 12 months of their last scored attempt in
order for their written exam to remain valid. If a candidate does not pass
the lab exam within three years of passing the written exam, he or she must
retake the written exam before being allowed to attempt the lab exam again.

So... "within 12 months of their last scored attempt", so I'd say Yes, to
before the anniversary in May, and "within three years of passing the
written exam", means that you can continue to re-attempt up until the Sep
2011 anniversary of your written passing.
