I am participating in a study group at Cisco here in the Dallas area. Even the Cisco Engineers in the group are there for their own edification to help them pass. I know if I had access to the lab equipment all the time like they do, I would be feeling fairly confident. I haven't even attempted the written yet but I have years worth of router time in a production environment. The number of CCIEs get depressing if you look at them for too long. Just keep looking at dice.com, hotjobs.com and such for jobs requiring a CCIE. Keeps me interested. :-)

A lot of these supposed 1700 a month are VERY good at memorization, and have not touched routers and switches for more than 10 or 12 hours altogether. I have trouble believing the number is quite that high, because the lab dates do not seem to be getting booked up anywhere near that fast. People haven't a prayer of passing the CCIE Lab until they get many hundreds or perhaps a thousand or two thousand hours of work configuring routers and switches. It is a long road, and I am still a long way from getting to the CCIE Lab milestone myself, but the journey itself is very satisfying.
