Actually they don't require five years experience to take the lab. Cisco strongly encourages you to have 3 to 5 years experience, but don't require it.

Cisco's view seems to be that "hey, it's your money." The lab portion is something like $1200+ to take it. The written is $350, I believe.
damn 80%! that must be some tough lab. They require 5 years experience just to take the exam.
There are actually multiple labs..
Routing and Switching
Security
Service Provider
Voice
Storage area networks
All of them are hard. Some people take them and never pass. One guy I work with, got his on the 4th try...another guy I work with took it for the 6th time, last week, and still did not make it.
And others are correct...there is no "requirement" on time. I know of one person that got their IE with under 1 year experience...so, it can be done.
