& Some Info from an Candidate :

*You arrive between 7.20 and 7.40 at Cisco, sign in at the front desk, get
your badge and wait in the lobby with other candidates (the tension is
palpable ), unsurprisingly only guys there, 8 to 10). At 7.45-50, the
proctor comes and guides you to the CCIE room. He explains basics for a few
minutes (where the toilets are, shows the break room with a couple drink
machines, cellphones/bags/etc. to be put on tables at the back of the room,
assigns pod number, explains that he will answer any clarification question
about the exam but wont give or hint at the solution). The exam starts
around 8.00, the proctor distributes the questions. There are a couple
scratch sheets on the table (more can be asked from the proctor if needed),
as well as a dozen pens of various colours, and of course a PC (with on the
desktop shortcuts to SecureCRT sessions to all the routers and switches;
also available are Notepad, Calculator and Internet Explorer for the
univerCD).*

*Lunch at 12.00. The proctor distributes a coupon so you can eat for free
(sort of, $1500 lunch, 20% VAT and service included ), then guides you to
the cafeteria (self service). Eat quickly or a light meal, because before
12.30 its time for everyone to get back to the lab until 16.30.*

*Youll get the results in your mailbox the same day or the next day,
usually (except if you take the exam on a Friday, then you can have to wait
until Sunday evening, as was the case for me).
