What is the least I can do?

Question

Hi,I have a question.  I passed my CCNA last year, so I have about a yearand half until the three years are up.  I wanted to go for my CCNP butI do not currently have time.  I started a new job which took up a lotof time and am going to start my Masters in the fall.  If i just passone of the CCNP tests does that reset the clock?  If I pass one and itdoes reset the clock, do I have to pass the other three in three yearsor everytime I pass a test will it reset the clock?  I ask because Iam taking two Masters programs back to back and will not be completedwith these for four years.THanks for the advice.

Each CCNP exam will reset the clock to 3 years.

so u have can do the exams over 10 years :|.

Even when the new exams come out your first one is still valid, well in the past it has (not sure if they stay valid)

You don't have 10 years to get your CCNP. Each CCNP exam will also expire. Correct me if I'm wrong but you have 3 years to get your CCNP.

Corb,You see in "Cisco's Certification Tracking System"then Certification ProgressUnder CCNP u seeComplete one itemRouting (640-503) **Routing (640-603)Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (640-900) **Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (640-901) **BSCI (642-801) **Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (642-901)** This requirement is no longer available. If you have already completed it, it will count towards your certification status. However, if it is not yet complete, you should complete the other requirement(s)Seem like the old exam still count and don't "expire"The exam's don't expire only the Certification expires.
