I think it would be ludicrous for Cisco to change a test based on
perceived expertise. If you are going to benchmark someone as a CCIE,
then they should have met the same qualifications as the next CCIE.
I'm sure this is the way it must be - otherwise, they would be tainting
their survey with mis-information from people that believe this sort of
thing.

so..........
if you answer the questions such that you're profiled as a newbie you'll get
an easier exam?
if you passed on the basis of being a newbie but in fact you have lots of
experience and initials can the exam results be nullified?
this is all kinda weird - being able to affect the difficulty of an exam
before taking it.
a pass is a pass - there's no CCIE written (beginner) or CCIE written
(expert)
to give myself an edge I think I'd answer like a newbie.
but then :-)....... maybe there's reverse psychology working here - they
give newbies the hard exam to scare them into studying!
and give the experts the easy exam as a reward!
yeah! - that's it!!!
