The former. I'm not saying that you should be able to write commercial study product grade lab scenarios to pass the CCIE exam, but I think it's a very good preparation for the lab test to try to anticipate what the test developers might to. Let me put it this way -- when I was studying for academic tests, one of my tricks was to write what would be the essential material to cheat -- and then leave that sheet at home. It forced me to think in the test designers mind. In contrast, when I do skills testing in a commercial environment, it's completely different. Open-book and indeed open-internet for one. Also, when I interview, I try very hard to pose a question that either is a research problem, or something I would not reasonably expect the applicant to know. I tell them I don't expect an exact answer, but I'd like to discuss the way they would approach coming up with an answer.
