Internetwork Expert recently rolled out their new Poly Labs. I had a chance to do some beta testing with these labs (not as much as I would have liked due to my schedule) and they are going to be a great addition for CCIE candidates. Basically, you choose your knowledge level for each major section and then the testing engine will generate a random lab based on your abilities. You take the lab and the testing engine automatically grades your lab. Your ability per each section will then be updated based on the results of your lab. This will show you your weakness and – presumably – after taking enough Poly Labs you will get a good idea of whether or not your ready to take the lab.
The cost is $25 per Poly Lab. This cost does not include rack rental which will add anywhere from $8 – $60 to the cost (depending on whether you rent one or two 5.5 hour sessions and what the dynamic rental price is at).
[NOTE: It looks like IE has limited the cost to a max of $55 for a Poly Lab and two rack sessions]
Internetwork Expert will be hosting an online seminar tomorrow with more details.

Important note for those people who purchased (or received through previous end-to-end upgrade) the CCIE 2.0 product. They do not have to spend the 25 tokens on the poly lab. They just have the rack rental costs to take care of on their own. This should be correctly reflected now when they choose to generate the poly lab. It is on my account at least.
This was not the case for a few days when the poly labs were originally released.
