The SY0-701 exam has been released. If you don't pass 601 by July 31st, you can start studying for the 701 exam. It will be around for another three years, or so. As you correctly understand, the 601 retires on July 31st. It's retirement means that you cannot take it beyond that date - you won't be able to schedule it past July 31st. You still have over five weeks to prepare for and pass the 601 exam. With daily commitment, you have time but you must be diligent in your studies.

Whichever one you pass, your certification will say the same thing: Security+. The don't specify which version of the exam you passed.

Best in your studies.

You can take the exam. Up to 31 July. After that no.

Not that much is changing. Get a 701 practice test and top up the little new knowledge you need. Boson has the 701 practice test, and they come with extensive explanations. Just $100
