I don't believe this is accurate. Certainly Cisco employees are expected to
reach the same score as everyone else on the lab and pre qualification for
CCIE. 10 or 15% would mean that you'd need 90-95% to pass the lab which
would make it pretty tough. I know that instructors (CCSI's) have to pass
the career certification exams with an elevated rate but hadn't heard that
practise extended elsewhere.
