Tests are definitly profitable. For the CCIE lab ALONE, I heard that approx 50,000 people have taken the test. For most of the time, the test was $1000.00. So, since the inception of the LAB, Cisco has pulled in $50,000,000.00! And AFAIK, none of that cash goes to Sylvan or anyone else but Cisco. That's just for the lab! I can't imagine how many people have paid for the CCNA, CCDA, CCNP, CCDP, CCIE Written, etc..
