Cisco is announcing changes to the CCIE Service Provider track to align more closely with the complex packet-based networks used to deliver rich managed services. Specifically: On October 2, 2006 a new, comprehensive CCIE written exam will be introduced with additional service provider topics. A beta test of the new written exam is scheduled for August 1 through August 29, 2006. Candidates interested in taking the beta exam at a discounted cost of US$50 should refer to CCIE SP Comprehensive Written Exam Blueprint (351-029) for a detailed outline of topics covered. Eventually this comprehensive exam will replace the eight written exams currently offered as qualification for the CCIE SP lab exam. More information on the replacement schedule is available on the CCIE Website. Also, effective October 1, 2006, all CCIE Service Provider labs will begin introducing Cisco Series 7200 routers into the lab. All CCIE candidates taking Service Provider lab exams after October 1, 2006 should be familiar with this equipment. Please note that the CCIE Lab Exam blueprint remains unchanged at this time.

Nevertheless, earning a certification or engaging in coursework in the IT field can be a rewarding experience if you keep a level head and seek to learn. Read the full article.
Before you begin to study specific components of the exam, it is always good to get a general feel for the exam first. The exam is a 90 minute, 85 question test with no intermediate break or multiple components (unlike the A+ examinations). It is also not adaptive. It covers a wide range of material, but this material is conceptual and practical, unlike the "all-practical, real-world" questions from the Microsoft exams. The exam is graded and scored instantly on a scale of 100 - 900; as soon as you complete the test, you will receive your score and report, complete with a description on the questions you missed and how you can improve. full article.
