Joe, They will have everything you need at the lab, (ear plugs, pencils, colored-pencils, paper, drinks "water,soda-pops etc...) the proctors are great people, they understand your nerves, they understand that you pay a lot of money to take the exam, but they will also tell you that they cannot help answer the questions, but can help you clarify the question so that you understand it. All in all I never had time to look anything up on the DocCD there was rarely anything on the exam that I didn't previously cover or done, in 1 instance I had 1 thing that I was like "what in the hell is that" . My labs have always been putty, with the ability to click on the router (image) to launch the telnet session, each telnet session opens an individual terminal, notepad, ms-calculator, IExplorer are the only available programs and the screens are at least 23", keyboards are the standard 101 key MS boards, temperature is always moderate but my hands do freeze up a little "probable because I'm nerves" every other candidate is typically very aware of how much noise they are making and generally keep it to a low volume "courteous" Hope this helps. I've taken the exam twice both at the same place, both with the same proctor and both times I felt nerves going in, but felt that Cisco does a create job with the proctoring, go in there with confidence in knowing that you are only 1 of a few that actually have the pride to walk into that lab and challenge it. All this information I've outlined is freely available through Cisco's Produce CCIEtech power point that they go over during Cisco's 360 Live and Cisco Live events. I do not have the latest one, but I'm sure I know of people how do.... wink, wink "anyone".
