> & 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).
