Dear Team ,

Can I do ccsm 77.30 now or i have to upgrade with 80 then only i can give it .

Please give exam recommendation with exam code

The R77 exams are not available anymore, therefore your path should be...
CCSE R77.30 (which you currently have) ==> CCSE R80 Upgrade ==> CCSM R80

[Harmesh_Yadav]

So i have to give CCSE R80 Upgrade exam directly now ?

[Maik · Accepted solution]

As your goal it the CCSM (as far as I understood) and you also currently hold a R77 CCSE with the tweak that the R77 CCSM can't be taken anymore - yes. You first need to get to R80 CCSE (via the upgrade exam) and afterwards you may take the R80 CCSM.
If it is just related to recertification the CCSE R80 upgrade is enough to stay certified for the next two years.

Just book the CCSM R77.30 (156-115.77) exam as it is still available on Pearson VUE.
