OK. I have no idea if the labs are the same or not. I was basing my question on the earlier post.
The deal is, you pass one of 8 possible writtens (although only 4 are available as of today), which consist of 50% general knowledge material, and the other 50% of subject-specific material, where those are defined on the Cisco website. Then, no matter which written you took, everybody takes the same lab which covers only general knowledge material. Good luck on your lab!
