Steps of CCNA Certification Exam

Step1、Complete the questionnaire. 

The exam systems include VUE system and Selvin system. In different systems, the contents of the questionnaires at the beginning are slightly different, but you don’t need to worry. It is relatively safe to choose B for every question. After finishing one question, click NEXT until the END. Because option B usually means that the examinee has average level of ability, and the exam questions won’t be too difficult. Note that one of the question asks whether you have reached the age of 18, be sure to choose “Yes”. The last question is to ask whether you agree to the Cisco agreement. You must choose “agree”. If you choose “disagree”, you cannot take the exam and you have to pay for the exam fee again to re-register for the exam. After the signing the agreement, click the END option on the lower right corner of the questionnaire page and the system will automatically select the questions from the server. The exam questions have been downloaded from Australia in advance, and is temporarily stored in the server. After a few seconds, the questions are extracted, and the candidates can click START to start the formal exam.  

Step2、Start the formal exam visite website here 

For those who take a formal exam of the same subject on the same day at the same exam site, the questions on that day generally do not change much. During the exam, marking and backing are not allowed. Once you click NEXT, you cannot return to the previous question for modification. The number of exam questions is 55-65. In China, the exam lasts for 120 minutes, with a full score of 1000 points and a passing score of 849 points. There is plenty of time for the exam. People who take the exam for the first time may be nervous. In fact, as long as you are fully prepared, the time is enough and you can take it easy. 

Most of the questions are objective multiple-choice or single-choice. Generally, there will be tips to remind you of how many options you should choose, or tell you to choose all the answers you think are right. Next is the experimental questions. For example, you will be asked to use relevant commands to connect the network. You should first show run on each router to check whether the commands are complete. Don’t forget to copy after finishing, and then use Ping to check.

There may also be a crash in the exam. Don’t be nervous. Tell the examiner quickly and they will solve it. Restart and continue to answer the questions. The results of the previous questions still exist. But the questions being done at the crash may not be saved. Be sure to check carefully before choosing NEXT to continue. When all the questions are finished, choose END EXAM and leave the exam page.

Right after the exam comes the exciting moment. You will see the exam results immediately. The green bar shows that you have passed the CCNA certification. Out of the exam room, the examiner is printing your transcript and stamping it. The transcript should be kept well, with your ID number, score and part of the exam information of the exam site, as well as the website and relevant information which will be needed for registering in the future on it.

Step3、 Post-exam registration.

Within ten days after passing the CCNA certification exam, please go to Cisco website to register and fill in candidate’s personal information. In the past, many examinees did not pay attention to the exam registration and asked others or the exam center to register on behalf of them, which often resulted in the failure to receive the certificate or the inability to change the examinee’s personal information in other subjects in the future. Therefore, the exam registration must be done by yourself. Don’t tell others the password easily.

If you want to receive the CCNA certificate faster, you can write the mailing address in your own language in the personal information table. The mailing address is divided into three parts. After entering, the first part has been filled in by the exam center. You need to check the address, zip code and E-mail. The second part is left blank. In the third part, you can fill in the mailing address in your own language, which corresponds to the content in the first part. (Note that it can be filled in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.) Then the registration is finished and you need to wait 6-8 weeks and Cisco will send the certificate to the address you filled in.

The certificate is mailed by ordinary letter, including a candidate card, a congratulatory letter issued by John Chambers, President of Cisco, and your CCNA certificate. spotodumps
