Passed CEHv8 - Question about ECC and VUE?
I passed CEHv8 this morning. I took the official class a few weeks ago and read through the AIO book.
Now while trying to find out the status of my test aside from waiting the 4-8 weeks, I realized that the instructions in my book tell me to request a special Eligibility-Evaluation Code (ECC) to test at a VUE testing center. I did not have to enter this in when I registered and was able to take the exam. Is this going to be a problem? I really hope not. I remember my instructor telling me I could take it at VUE and the voucher number is only good at VUE centers which is why I did not read the instructions in the training book that has the ECC. Why would they tell you to ask for a VUE ECC if they don't ask for it? Has anyone run into this problem?

Congrats on the pass!
When I paid and registered for my CEH, I got a voucher code and an authorization code. I was told the eligibility code would be needed to show the testing center that I had been pre-approved by EC-Council (2 years experience verified by supervisor).
When I went to the testing center (PearsonVue), they didn't ask for it. I tested and passed with no issue.
I don't recall if I received an email after passing (pretty sure I didn't), but you will receive an email telling you that your welcome packet and certificate have shipped (the tracking # is included). This should be in a couple of weeks or so. I passed on 16 Aug 13 and had my certificate about a month later. The welcome packet also has information on how to register with EC-Council to view your certification and continuing education status.

If you are taking the official course from EC-Council (which is what I did), it shouldn't be difficult. I was surprised how many practice questions in the course content I actually saw on the test. -

I took v7 too, btw. But from what I understand, content is very similar.
