...but not entirely. Turns out the 180 day waiting period for tests is only if you pass. That makes more sense as the only good reason you'd have for going back right away is to braindump.
Ok, so maybe I jumped the gun a bit.
Still, there's a reason I would consider Cisco actually pulling a stunt like that. Despite the lip service to SMB's they continue to treat their small integrators like crap. I still stand by my feelings on this.
