Thanks Kazim.  What does dis mean - " cancel the exam and reschedule the replacement exam 300-101 (TShoot). " ? What is a replacement exam? On my understanding about Tshoot exam, it's better to take Route & Switch first. 

Do I need to accomplish 3 exams for CCNP before January 31, 2015? 

Thanks..

yes it means Tshoot exam(with new code), it depends on you which u like to take first tshoot or route.

Do I need to accomplish 3 exams for CCNP before January 31, 2015?
