New CCIE R&S Lab Opportunities: New Location Available
To increase testing opportunities and add convenience for certification candidates, Cisco® will be offering the CCIE® Routing and Switching lab exam in additional locations in April 2010, as listed below. A new location in Johannesberg/Midrand, South Africa has been added. The exams will be administered at Pearson Professional Centers which are designed for secure, high-stakes professional exams and have been used by medical, legal and other examination boards for over eight years.

Core Knowledge Questions for All CCIE Labs
Important change in all CCIE labs exams. Finally the attendees for CCIE RS Lab will now feel discriminated by the Core Knowledge Questions, as starting with next year, this will become mandatory for all CCIE Lab exams.
Interesting is that they say for all CCIE Labs exam, but below the Security and Voice exams are not specified…
See below the official announcement:
Effective January 4, 2010, the Cisco CCIE® Service Provider, Storage, and Wireless lab exams will add a new type of question format in a section called Core Knowledge. In this new section, candidates will be asked a series of four open-ended questions that require a short written response to be entered into the computer, typically several words. The questions will be randomly drawn from a pool of questions on topics eligible for testing. Candidates can review the topics by visiting the CCIE track information on Cisco.com or the Cisco Learning Network. No new topics are being added as a result of this change.
Candidates will have up to 30 minutes to complete the Core Knowledge section and may not return to it once they have moved on. A passing score on the Core Knowledge section is required to achieve certification. Core Knowledge questions were implemented on Routing and Switching labs in February 2009 and Security labs in June 2009, and allow Cisco to maintain strong exam security and ensure that only qualified candidates are awarded CCIE certification. Candidates with exam dates on January 4, 2010 or later should expect to see the new question format on their lab exam.

CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide, 4th Edition
I just received the news that Cisco Press will release on 19th of November 2009, the 4th edition of CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide by Wendell Odom, Rus Healy and Denise Donohue.
A brief description from the Cisco Press site:
“The CCIE Routing and Switching certification is the most respected certification in the industry. The successful CCIE candidate must understand a broad range of network technologies that includes OSI model, bridging, LAN switching, IP and IP Routing protocols, multicast, WAN technologies, and performance management. The exam is notoriously difficult and CCIE candidates must first pass a qualifying written exam. The CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide, Fourth Ed., covers all of the topics of the 4.0 written exam. In this updated edition there are content and alignment changes based on the revised v4.0 exam. The newest edition includes 300 pages of new content covering the following topics:
Network optimization
Troubleshooting
BGP routing policies
Expanded QoS coverage
Expanded WAN coverage
Expanded multicast coverage
Expanded MPLS coverage
IPv6 redistribution”
Currently you can pre-order the book and it will be delivered when published. If you are lucky enough to live in U.S. you can have it shipped for free.
Price and full details about this product can be found on the Cisco Press site.
