Someone without a clue is probably doing maintenance on the old site and is mixing up the old 642-801 with newer 642-901.
I'm sure the people who have taken the 642-901 exam since August 11, 2008 would have mentioned any issues they had taking the exam.
I guess I won't get to post my theory now about Time Traveling Space Aliens stealing all the BSCI exams from the past -- which would explain how an exam could suddenly be retired over 5 months ago.
Hopefully the idiot who made the mistake will remember where they made changes and get the rest of the pages fixed soon.
The "retired exam page" no longer shows the exam as retired.
I'd guess the people who worked on the "old site" and "had a clue" probably moved on to new jobs and someone without a clue took over maintenance of the existing site -- for however long it lasts.
It looks like all the exam links on the old CCNP page are being pointed towards that outsourced Jivesoftware site.
I'm not sure what's more annoying -- the original error or all the people who seemed to believe the error
And don't even get me started on all the people who "talked to Cisco" and "confirmed with the certification help desk" (even though it was closed for the weekend) that it was true.
Maybe they have special access....

Of course, as long as this is all done prior to those exam credit expiring... I believe 3 years...
Everytime I see the words "Penultimate hop pop" I get "Zoot Suit Riot" stuck in my head.

the current CCNP is going to expire soon? with a new track?? I mean when will the current CCNP (4 certs in all) expire. So Say I take the BSCI and then all 4 expire then what do It do?
am I screwed? or do I need to finish with an expired exam track or do I have to completely restart over????? to the new CCNP BSCI?? I mean how have you gurus done it. So really you have to have a good start time and a good pace to finish a CCNP series before it retires.
I mean like you have say MCSE 2003. That really doesnt expire until the technology isnt used anymore. so that could be in 2011 or so. But what about Cisco? Doesnt Cisco change their entire series every 3 years religiously????? so I am screw if I take say the BSCI at end of year and pass. And then next year 2010 they expire the BSCI 901 then what???? holy crap.]
It seems it is about timing as well. what do you guys think? In order for me to be CCNP
on the current 901 BSCI I am going to have to complete entire CCNP in what say 1 or 2 years????
The biggest issue you'll face is if you by the boxed set of the Cisco Exam Certification Guides and then Cisco announces a major change.
But you may want to hurry -- I'm now starting a rumor that Cisco is going to start writing all their exams in Pig Latin. That will even the test taking playing field since no one will then be taking the exam in their native language.
What the uckfay is Pig Latin?
