Exam Description‍
The Composite exam (642-892) is the quickest way for currently certified CCNP®, CCIP® and CCDP® to obtain recertification. The exam tests skills and knowledge pertaining to the Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) and Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) courses. Composite may be taken to recertify CCNP, CCIP and CCDP certifications; it may also be taken in place of the BSCI and BCMSN exams required for CCNP, CCIP and CCDP certifications. Candidates must successfully pass both routing and switching subsections of the Composite exam to successfully pass the exam.
