One Exam CCNP

I understand there is a one exam CCNP option for those who don't like writing exams. Has anyone here used this option? Is it advisable for one who has not passed the CCNA?

That is correct. No getting around that....

shazzam, the 'one exam' option is for /existing/ CCNPs to /recertify/ using the composite exam.

New CCNPs still have to write the 3 or 4 exams.

Its good to aim for the moon but you can not get there if you can not work hard or if you try to avoid it. Being among the stars also seems to be a distant possibility in that case.
