There are a few of us who actually studied really hard for the exams they already passed. Some of you in this group, can read the table of contents on all Cisco press books and pass the 4 exams the next day. I am not one of those people, I spent at least 200 hours studying for CCNP routing exam, if not more.
I got about 100 emails for me to take the beta exams, I deleted all of them. I think they had major issues getting people to take the betas. The majority of people I know who are in the middle of the CCNP do not welcome this change. Maybe there is too many CCNP and this is a tactic to slow it down by making some of them mad. I know some of us seem dumb, when we can't pass the test by osmosis. But consider everyone taking the CCNP doesn't eat, sleep and drink routers and switches. Network engineers, most of us are generalist, being expected to know every piece of technology and software under the sun. And at the same time, going to school, and studying for other vendors certs. I think that if you start a "series" you should be allowed to finish the same one you started. Now I am wondering about the Cisco security series, will that change when I am half way through it? I guess the current policy is that Cisco can make any changed they feel like, at any time. I just think that Cisco should have let people who are in the middle of their CCNP finish the series. And new people who decide to be a CCNP start a new series. I am all for making the program better, but I think they didn't give much thought to this one. Just my 2 cents.
