How to maintain a variable in the url which is customized in cakephp?

What im trying to do here is maintain the variable 42 all throughout all pagination urls. I want my url to change from this

/exams/take/42/page:2

to this

/exams/take/42/items/2

Again,the number 42 is the variable..and the number 2 is the page number..Thanks.

UPDATE :

routes.php
 Router::connect('/examinations/take/:id/page/:page', 
array('controller' => 'examinations', 'action' => 'take'),
array(
    'pass' => array('id', 'page'),
    'id' => '[0-9]+',
    'page' => '[0-9]+'
    )
);

in the view/take

$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));

AppController.php

public function beforeFilter(){
    if (isset($this->request->params['page'])) {
        $this->request->params['named']['page'] =                           $this->request->params['page']; 
    }
}

ive tried this ..but the generated url is the same,/examinations/take/42/page:2 ,when i click the next and prev links..

yes you can do it with the use of custom routing. for more undrestanding you can see cakephp manual to manage custom routing in pagination

http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/routing.html

below will be your

e.g.

And by adding this route:

Router::connect('/:id/page/:page', 
    array('controller' => 'examinations', 'action' => 'take'),
    array(
        'pass' => array('id', 'page'),
        'id' => '[0-9]+',
        'page' => '[0-9]+'
        )
);

You've to define custom routes:

http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/routing.html

Example as below:

    Router::connect(
      '/exams/take/:id/items/:number',
      array('controller' => 'exams', 'action' => 'take'),
      array('pass' => array('id', 'number'))
    );
