When scheduling one, you will be contacted by our CCIE Voice team to setup a Layer 2 VPN tunnel to your hardware phones, exactly as you will experience in the actual CCIE Voice Lab Exam (they use L2TPv3 for all phone connectivity when testing at all Cisco facilities). You will schedule with our team as to exactly when you will take this Mock Lab, and have basic contact with the instructor throughout your 8 hour exam, to gain clarification to basic task wording, just as in the real exam. Once the exam starts, you will be given 8 hours to complete the lab, along with a 30 minute break to simulate the lunch break you would have in the real lab. Your Mock Lab will then be graded either the same or the following business day, and again you will be contacted by the instructor to discuss your results, and receive a detailed score report and lab breakdown outlining your performance, along with some suggestions if there is need for improvement before sitting for your actual lab exam.

It is important to note, that in order for this CCIE Voice Mock Lab to be a real-world simulation of the conditions you will face in the actual CCIE Voice Lab, you should be prepared with some basic hardware at the location you plan to take this Mock Lab. The following two equipment options outline hardware that you need to provide in order to best simulate a real exam:
