Changes to CCIE Written Exam Question Format and Scoring

By Anon on Wed, 01/14/09 - 3:22pm.

Effective February 17th, 2009, candidates will see two changes in CCIE written exams. First, candidates will now be required to answer each question before moving on to the next question; candidates will no longer be allowed to skip a question and come back to it at a later time. Second, there will be an update to the score report. The overall exam score and the exam passing score will now be reported as a scaled score, on a scale from 300-1000. This change will not affect the difficulty of the current set of exams and will assure CCIE written exams will be consistent with Cisco’s other career certification exams. There are also changes to the CCIE R&S lab exam (go here for more).
