The Graded CHECKiT Labs provide you with an remote R&S CCIE® lab simulation.
You are given the 8 hour lab scenario covering 15-17 topics and access to the NetMasterClass equipment to complete the lab.
Once the lab is completed, you receive the answer key along with the detailed assessment report. The reports will supply a grade for the technology categories found in the lab along with information of what tasks were performed successfully, as well as detailed explanations of what was misconfigured.
SHOWiT
Using SHOWiT is like access to two racks of routers with the CHECKiT lab configured on both of them.
SHOWiT tool allows the candidate to compare these two sets of output in a split-screen accessible via the web by typing in the appropriate
Cisco show command.
- The first window displays the Candidate's Configuration and all associated IOS show command output.
- The second one shows the Answer Key's configurations with all of its associated IOS show command output.

- The CCIE® lab costs. In addition to the $1,400.00 lab fee, travel costs, lodging fees as well as time off from work make the expense even greater. If you fail the CCIE® lab multiple times, you might start doubting yourself whether you can ever pass the lab. Ideally, you want to take the CCIE® lab when you are really prepared to take the lab.
- Remember, the CCIE® grading is brutal. If you receive a CCIE® lab report containing scores in all categories that possess a value of 79%, you have performed well on the CCIE lab; however, you still have failed and you still get feedback to learn why.
- The test does not get any easier on the next attempt or multiple attempts. The only results you receive after taking the CCIE® lab is a single page report listing a set of topics on the exam with an associated percentage value reflecting your degree of successfully fulfilling the task. With this report, you have very little idea of how competent you are in a given subject category. You are left with a vague direction of what to study for your next lab attempt.
- With the CHECKiT lab you get much more: the score, the feedback, the ability to compare your work with the Master Answer Key and detailed explanations in the answer key. You know where you lost points and where to place your study emphasis before you take the real lab.

Receive Your CHECKiT Exam and Equipment Access Instructions
24 hours before you begin your CHECKiT lab, you will receive an electronic copy of your CHECKiT lab exam. We recommend that you print the lab so you have a hardcopy.
Each of the 8 hour CHECKiT lab topics has certain ammount of points associated. Just as you would be able to do in the actual CCIE® exam, you can prioritize what topics you want to perform first and which you want to perform later. You can make these decisions based upon your level of comfort with a given topic, the dependency of fulfilling the tasks of one or more topics based upon the successful configuration of another topic or set of topics, or the point values associated with a specific topic.
If you want to test your timing skills and have a real lab experience, it is important that you not look at or review your CHECKiT lab until your scheduled exam time.
