Cisco implemented CCNA 200-301 exam to make the choice of certification paths easier. The new exam addresses the latest technologies and trends in the continuously evolving IT and networking domain.

What is the duration in which I can finish my preparation for the CCNA 200-301 examination?

It depends upon your study habits and dedication. If someone commits 3 to 4 hours daily for the preparation, then 4 to 5 months would be enough.

Can CCNA Examination be taken online?

Yes, you can take the CCNA examination online sitting at your home or office. You need to follow some specific security precautions and guidelines. For example, you must be taking up the exam in a room with a closed door. There should not be any distraction, and no one should be allowed to enter the room while you are taking your exam.

Is my workspace okay for an online test?

Your workspace has to go through the check-in process before the exams start. The exam proctor will ask you to take photos of the workspace. He will ensure that you are not using any material or medium to help you solve problems. If your workspace fails the check-in process, the proctor will stop the examination.

Can I take a break during the CCNA online test?

Breaks are not allowed during the examination. If you leave your screen during the examination, the proctor will terminate your session, and you won’t complete the exam.
