I currently hold VCAP-DCV Design 2021 and VCAP-NV Design 2020 certs I earned from passing 3V0-21.21 and 3V0-42.20 respectively. I'd like to update them to current versions for a few reasons. (The NV is approaching n-4 where the update process becomes more complicated. I also keep hearing discussion that certs will need to be within n-2 to count towards partner requirements.) However it doesn't appear that either of those tests has been revised since I passed them. As a result, I don't think I have a way to update either of those certs. Is there an option I'm missing or am I simply stuck until new versions of those tests are released?
Checked the appropriate paths on these pages?

Yes - Those tell me I need to pass an exam to update, but the exam they list is the same one I took 2 or 3 years ago. Unless something has changed, I thought VMware's general rule is you can't take a test again once you pass it.
That is correct, once you’ve passed an exam you can’t schedule it again.
Perhaps can help.
We expect that both of those exams will be updated this calendar year.
Just to explicitly confirm, until that happens, I'm stuck, right?
