An email came out from the Cisco Learning Network regarding Core Knowledge Questions and the remaining CCIE tracks that do not already have them.
Core Knowledge Questions Now on All CCIE Labs
Effective January 4, 2010, the 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 which require a short written response 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 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, Security labs in June 2009, and Voice labs in July 2009, and allow Cisco to maintain strong exam security and ensure only qualified candidates are awarded CCIE certification. Candidates with exam dates January 4, 2010 or later should expect to see the new question format on their lab exam.

CCIE R&S Version 4 Beta Review
https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/8262
A review covering a Beta experience of the CCIE R&S updates over at the Cisco Learning Network by
"For those who don’t know me, I’ve been a CCIE since mid-2002 and am the co-author of several CiscoPress books, including “CCIE Route/Switch Exam Certification Guide 4th edition”, “Cisco Voice Gateways and Gatekeepers”, and “CCNP Quick Reference Sheets”. I recently took the beta of the new version 4.0 CCIE R/S lab exam to offer feedback to Cisco. With their approval, I'd like to offer my impressions to those preparing for, or considering, the CCIE R/S lab exam. A big caveat – my job does not routinely involve configuration anymore, and I didn’t get a chance to study until on the flight there, so a prepared candidate’s experience will definitely vary from mine!
Overall, I was favorably impressed. It has some cool and interesting new features. The most visible difference is the computer interface. All documentation is web-based now, including the lab instructions. No more binder on the desk. The main web page has the overall diagram and links to instructions and documentation. You click on a router to open a SecureCRT console session with it. There is also a link to manage the devices (reboot one, for example.) You can access CCO documentation from a link on the main page also. You can’t search CCO, though, unfortunately.
I didn’t know what to expect from the core questions since they weren’t on the lab when I took it seven years ago, but I thought they would be trivial. They weren’t. But they also were well within what one would expect someone sitting the exam to know easily.
The two-hour troubleshooting section is new for the one-day exam and follows the core questions. There are multiple trouble tickets, all relating to the same network so you don’t have to learn a new network for each one. You can do them in any order. I felt that the questions were fairly representative of things you might run across in a production environment. If you’ve set up your own lab and done all the experimenting you should while studying, you’ve probably already made most possible mistakes anyway! Probably the best way to ace the troubleshooting section is to have a very in-depth knowledge of all the technologies covered in the lab. One thing you should know is that the computer closes the exam exactly at the end of two hours. You don’t have any wiggle room to finish things up, so keep an eye on the time. If you finish early, you can end that portion and start the configuration portion of the lab.
The configuration portion is the last 5 ½ hours. I found it easy to get used to the web interface and having the instructions on the screen rather than on paper. The monitor screens are big enough that you can have multiple windows open at once. However, it was annoying to move the windows to see the lab diagram. If the actual lab doesn’t offer a paper version of the diagram, I recommend that you draw your own. The equipment was sometimes a little slow in responding to commands, because the actual routers and switches are in San Jose and I took the exam in RTP. It was nothing to worry about, just something to be aware of. I think the equipment has been remote for a while now, so if you’ve taken the lab recently then it’s familiar to you. The equipment sat beside us when I took my lab. There are some new technologies in the blueprint, and the configuration part is two hours shorter, so one would expect that portion to be scaled back somewhat.
Studying for version 4.0 should be no different than studying for the CCIE lab has always been - know the core routing, switching, and WAN technologies cold. Practice them until you can do them in your sleep. Then tackle all the other things on the blueprint, paying attention to the odd and unusual things you can do with them. As always, having a strong understanding of as many technologies, techniques, and IOS features as possible gives you time to research the tasks you’ve never heard of.
Good luck with your exam! I'm interested to hear about your experiences with it!

CCIE Security Open Ended Question Live Date
The Open Ended Questions Live Date was announced for CCIE Security Labs.
From Cisco:
"Effective June 15, 2009, the Cisco CCIE Security lab exam will feature 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, typewritten response (typically several words). The questions will be randomly drawn from a pool of questions on topics currently eligible for testing on the CCIE Security lab exam. No new topics are being added. Candidates will have up to 30 minutes to complete the Core Knowledge section of the exam, and may not return to the questions later. First introduced to the CCIE Routing and Switching lab exam in February 2009, Core Knowledge questions will eventually be added to all CCIE tracks. The changes allow Cisco to maintain strong exam security, and they help ensure that only qualified candidates are awarded CCIE certification."

CCIE Lab Short Answer Questions FAQ
I gathered this from http://ciscocert.custhelp.com
What is changing on the CCIE Lab Exam?
To increase the security & integrity of the CCIE R&S Lab exam, there will be a series of open-ended, short answer questions added to the lab exam and delivered online in all global lab locations. The addition of these questions does not change the lab exam blue-print, nor does it require time be added to the total exam time. At this point the questions are being added to the Routing and Switching lab; lab exams in other tracks will be announced in advance. - Link
Will short answer questions be added to other CCIE Lab Exams, beside R&S? If so, when?
Cisco intends to add short answer questions to all CCIE lab exam tracks. We will announce the addition of the short answer questions to each track well in advance of the questions appearing. - Link
How many short answer questions will be asked, and how long should candidates expect to spend on them?
Four or five short answer questions will be asked and candidates can expect to spend about 10-12 total minutes on them. - Link
Why are you adding short answer questions to the CCIE R&S Lab Exam?
Including several randomly-selected short answer questions on the lab will allow Cisco to increase the validity of CCIE and ensure only qualified candidates achieve certification. - Link
Will the short answer questions be added to the CCIE blueprints? How can I prepare (study) for the questions?
The short answer questions cover material already listed on the CCIE lab exam blueprint. The questions are intended to be answered easily and quickly by well-prepared candidates. - Link
Will there be additional time provided for the new short answer questions?
The length of the exam will remain eight hours. The short answer questions are intended to be answered easily and quickly by well-prepared candidates. - Link
When will candidates begin to see the short answer questions on the lab?
Candidates in all lab locations can expect to see short answer questions on their exams beginning in (TBD 2009). - Link
Can I skip the short answer questions and still pass the Lab Exam?
No, candidates must achieve a passing score on the short answer questions, as well as the configurations, in order to pass the Lab Exam and achieve certification. - Link
Can I skip the short answer questions and go back and answer them later?
No, the short answer questions must be completed before the candidate moves on to the configuration scenarios. - Link
Will the short answer questions also appear on CCIE mobile labs?
Yes, the mobile labs are the same as the traditional lab exams. The short answer questions will be part of all CCIE Routing & Switching lab exams after. - Link
What if I don't agree with the grading on the short answer questions? Can I appeal the results of the short answer section?
Because short answer questions are open-ended, responses are manually graded and the grading guidelines will allow for some variation in response. If a candidate requests and pays for a Lab Exam reread, a second proctor will review the entire exam responses and issue a second opinion. There will be no option to purchase a reread of only the short answer results. - Link
If I don't complete the short answer questions, can I opt out of the exam and receive a refund?
No, the short answer questions are now an official part of the lab exam. No refunds are given if candidates decide they are not ready to take the exam within 90 days of the exam date. - Link
Do the short answer questions affect my overall CCIE lab exam score?
Yes. All sections on the exam and their results are taken into account when determining the overall exam score. - Link

Changes to CCIE Written and Lab Coming (including "interview" questions)
Changes to CCIE Lab and Written Exam Question Format and Scoring
Effective February 1, 2009, Cisco will introduce a new type of question format to CCIE Routing and Switching lab exams. In addition to the live configuration scenarios, candidates will be asked a series of four or five open-ended questions, drawn from a pool of questions based on the material covered on the lab blueprint. No new topics are being added. The exams are not been increased in difficulty and the well-prepared candidate should have no trouble answering the questions. The length of the exam will remain eight hours. Candidates will need to achieve a passing score on both the open-ended questions and the lab portion in order to pass the lab and become certified. Other CCIE tracks will change over the next year, with exact dates announced in advance.
Effective February 17th, 2009, candidates will also see two other 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.
