ICND Test

Hello

I have taken the into exam in May and passed it. I was wondering if I can take the 801 exam or do I have to take the 811 since I have taken 821?
for me personally, I would prefer to take the 801, but not sure if Cisco would requireme to take the 811?

Thanks

Why would you do that?

But in any case yes, you can take the 640-801 exam anytime because it is a combination of the 2 exams you'd have to take in the other route. Still don't see why one would do this.

Are you scared of ICND?

I kind of thought about this after my response post. I guess if someone was extremely confident with the INTRO, but very scared of the ICND material, they could pass the INTRO first and then realising they have the ICND go and take the dual test knowing there would be less ICND on it. I dont know. Thats the only reason I could imagine someone doing what the OP is asking about.

Thanks for your responses and advice

Well I think I will go ahead and schedule the ICND test. I will be taking the test in two weeks. My previous decision, wanting to take the 801 instead of 811, was because of some problems with isdn and not having any hardware to test it. After reading some posts and noticing that it s unlikely to get an ISDN simulation i decided to go with the 811

Exactly. I ended up in a similar situation, but only because I kept bombing the ICND.

I still have yet to pass the 801. . . :: sigh ::
