If I remember correctly, its episode 20.

[kage_bunshin]

yeah its around there 20~21.

[Thousand Years of Pain]

Actually, heres how it goes:

Episode 20: They meet Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara. The third talks about the Chuunin exam will occur in a week.
Episode 21: Iruka-Sensei tests them on their wits and skills. They all pass and Genin Team 7 go to the testing area where everybody else is waiting. Note: Genjutsu on level 2, really being level three. Meets: Rock Lee, Tenten, Hyuuga Neji.
Episode 22: Rock Lee Fight. Enter: Gai Sensei
Episode 23: Kakashi-Sensei lecture about 3 man team test. Meet kabuto-san and the GENIN 9. Then we meet the Sound Nin. Then we meet Morino Ibiki
Episode 24: Start Chuunin Exam #1.
So, its Episode 24

But if you want all the good buildup and introduction of characters, you'll want to start at 20.

Oh, I've read the manga up to the a bit past the entire Chuunin Exam. I just wanted to start at the exam for the anime. I've never seen any of the anime.
