RE: Additional CCIE Written Question
I'd like to answer your questions, but I'm afraid that if I did I would hit Cisco's radar screen, and become a topic of conversation at last night's DC Cisco meeting. ;- Ah, what the hell... no the passing score does not increase with each try. The published exam blueprint is accurate, if memory serves. The CCIE is not about configuring routers. It's about understanding how things work.

I've heard the comment that if you fail the test then when you retake it your required passing score is higher. Does anyone know how much the passing score is increased by? I am considering taking the written at the end of this week to assess what areas I am weak in and to get an idea of the difficulty of the test. Would that be a bad idea for me to do? Given the high wait time for the lab I would like to take the written as soon as possible, I'm positive I could pass it in January after a few weeks of concentrated study but I figure if it doesn't hurt me too bad I might as well try the test right now and I just might get lucky and pass. _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Additional CCIE Written Question
The scores do not increase because you fail it. The passing score is set on a 3 month average so if a bunch of people suddenly start passing the test with a high score, the passing score will go up. But it has nothing to do with you personally failing or passing. Right now the passing score is still at 70% -Original Message- From: Curtis Call [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2000 7:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Additional CCIE Written Question Ok I have another question about the CCIE written.

RE: Additional CCIE Written Question
Well in that case I guess the worst that could happen by my taken the test before I feel totally prepared is that I would lower the required score to pass :-) -- Original Message -- From: "Maness, Drew" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2000 08:05:16 -0800 The scores do not increase because you fail it.
