I was pretty sure that was the case ... With the long lead times to get into the lab I just figured by now Cisco would have wised up and realized that the standard process would be to pass the written THEN work on lab prep for at least 6 months before FORKING up $1250 to schedule a lab rather then pass the written then sign up for the lab knowing good and well that you will not pass it with paper preparation only!! I'd rather feel good about the lab FIRST then schedule it and owe Cisco the money whether I am ready or not in 6 months. For all that responded with the "go to an international test site" ... come on guys .. get real .. Pay thousands for travel or take another $200 (or now 300) test. Anyone smart enough to be pursuing their CCIE knows the answer to that question!
