Kailash- Your answers are best answered by contacting Cisco at the Certification and Training number (see website for number).
As far as the question of which test to take, it's simple. If 9E0-111 expires Sept. 30, and you are still pursuing the Firewall Specialist cert, then you have to take whatever exam is available- it's that simple. If an exam is indicated to expire by X Date, that means it won't be offered after that date. The logical step (in my opinion) is to take the newest exam, so that you will have the most current exam on your record. This ensures that you will not be behind the curve on Cisco's certification track updates that may make a certain Cert Title obsolete/expire in a time table that you aren't satisfied with accepting. As far as test difficulty, that varies by test taker. If you are well experienced in the technology, then you'll obviously do well on the exam. If you are not so familiar with it, then you'll either pass by a slim margin, or you'll simply fail. My motto is: Don't take the exam until you really know the subject material like the back of your hand. Just my 2 cents. Hope your questions were answered satisfactorily. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: kailash pant [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2003 1:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cisco exam 9E0-111 or 642-521 [7:71048] Dear All, I am planing to go for Cisco firewall exam, as of now two exams are available there 9E0-111 and 642-521 I am bit confused which one should I opt. other doubt I have is if I opt for exam 9E0-111, as per the site it will expire on 30 September but would it be valid for me to complete the security certification or I would have to go for the 642-521 again if I want to get the CISCO Firewal expert certificate after 30 September. Also I have the CSPFA 2.0 book how difficult it is to pass any of these exam by reading this book. I would also want to know which exam is good and more practical/realistic. Would you suggest any test exam for this (I am a CCNP certified) how difficult would it be to pass this for an average exprienced person. Thanks in advance for all your inputs.
