Previous CCNA exams were
CCNA composite : 640-801INTRO : 640-821ICND : 640-811The above exams are valid only upto Nov 6 2007 and after that they will be removed and the below exams will come into affect.
ICND1 640-822 ICND2 640-816 CCNA Composite 640-802 In order to obtain your CCNA you can take and pass the ICND1 and ICND2 exams at $125 , or try for the CCNA Composite 640-802 exam at $150.
You can go with two exam approach or can simply go for one test approach as no body has actually proved that two test approach is easier and the chances or probability of your getting passed is reduced. So i think one test approach is the better one.
If already you are on your way of preparation, please take the old exam only as the content of the exam is much more easier. In the new exam/pattern new contents and new technology has been added so you may need more time for the preparation.
Here’s a short list of the new technologies covered:
Secure Device Manager Virtual Private Networks IPv6 2960 Switches Lots of troubleshooting Cisco Network Assistant Advanced EIGRP and OSPF Introduction to Wireless networks More security
