Cisco CCENT Exam

Question

Hi All, I am due to sit my CCENT exam in about 3 weeks, for anyone who has sat the exam recently or knows about the exam:

1. How many questions is in the exam
2. How long does the exam go for
3. Will there be a lot of question based on the CLI commands?

Answer 1

1. Duration: 90 Minutes (40-50 questions)
2. The ICND1 and ICND2 exams are $125 each, but the single CCNA exam is $250
3. Exam topics: http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/current_exams/640-822.html#examtop

And, yes, CLI questions will fill up the exam along with subnetting problems. I suggest worrying about SDM related later, after mastering the command line interface.

Answer 2

Just as a correction, I am taking my CCENT test tomorrow. I paid $150. I've also seen that the CCNA is $150 with the CCNA composite test being $300. A small difference to the first response but noteworthy none-the-less.

Also, my friend just passed his CCENT and said that Simlet's are huge on the test (meaning a Simulation with multiple questions asked about it) and subnetting is a big part of it.

As I understand it, the only Routing Protocol you'll really need to know all of is RIPv1 and RIPv2.
