mclemore1

Is 801 harder then 802, I know that 801 is retired except to net acad students, which I am. Thanks for responses

yes

I've heard 802 was harder than 801 because there's more material.

Also, 801 is only available to Net Acad students if you meet certain criteria.

When I looked at the topics for 640-802 and compared them to the ones for 640-801, the thing that struck me is that there seems to be a lot more to cover. I took 640-801 the last day it was available, but I've been hearing from some colleagues that are doing the new track that the IPv6 and new security topics are killers.
