Share your CCNA Experience
The new CCNA 200-301 has come to replace the old CCNA 200-125 exam so we create the “Share your new CCNA Experience” for everyone to share their experience to prepare for this new exam.
We have a topic of Frequently Asked Questions & Tips for CCNA learners, surely you will find valuable information about the CCNA exam there.
Note:
+ The CCNA 200-301 exam include lab sims, multiple choice and Drag drop questions.
+ You can use shortcut command (like “int”, “no sh”, “conf t”…), “tab” and “?” in the simulations of the exam.
+ The lab sims will be shown at the beginning, not in the middle of the exam (changed since November 2025). Currently there are 4 lab sims in each exam.
Please share with us your experience to prepare for the new CCNA 200-301 exam, your materials, the way you learned, your recommendations… But please DO NOT share any information about the detail of the exam or your personal information, your score, exam date and location, your email…
Your posts are warmly welcome! Hope you will find useful information from friends who have taken the new CCNA exam!



I took my exam tuesday and passed easilly, the exam had 65 question and 5 labs, the questions were the same and very similar those from CCNA – new questions. I recommend you to do all the topics from 5 to 16 to be sure. I passed the composite quiz several times, at least ten times in a row.
The labs were the same or similar these:
IPv4 and IPv6 Assignment Sim
OSPF Configuration Sim
VLAN & LLDP Sim
Static Routing Configuration Sim 4
Trunking & LACP Sim
Which OSPF Configuration Sim did you have to do?
Hi. I had to advertise the networks and config R2 as a DR.
Hi everyone, is it really needed to study all the new questions from part 5-16 or we can just focus on the latest ones like part 10-16?
Hey everyone, has anyone appeared for the CCNA exam recently? Could you share which labs were included? Thanks.
I took my exam last night and failed. I was going off two hours of sleep and a bad bout of food poisoning. The labletsI saw were as follows:
IPv4 and IPv6 Assignment Sim
OSPF Configuration Sim
VLAN & LLDP Sim
Static Routing Configuration Sim 4
Trunking & LACP Sim.
I desperately need to pass before July 1. I’ve studied all questions here as well as completed the full CBTnuggets course. I greatly apprreciate if anyone could share some insight or possibly a dump. Thanks in advance!
@beastin16 Sorry to hear that, hope you feel better. You’ve got this next time! Quick question: Were the MCQs and labs exactly the same as the dump provided here, or did you notice any differences?
Please send dump to charden2007 @ gmail. com. I’ve studied and studied and studied and I have to pass for my job. Im begging!
@AN, from what I can remember the labs were almost identical, there could have been slight variations in IP schemes. The MCQs were heavy into routes, subnetting, and Wi-Fi.
What chapter questions should I go
Like only CCNA 10 – 16 or every chapter. Chapter 5 -16 ?
To clear the CCNA exam
I will take the CCNA exam in 10 days.
Please suggest me something, who cleared there exam.
Passed my CCNA exam yesterday! I had 5 lablets and 65 questions. Here are the labs I was given:
-Voice VLAN Configuration Sim 2
-Static Routing Configuration Sim – (Different topology…)
-OSPF Configuration Sim – (Only R1 was accessible)
-Trunking & LACP Sim
-IPv4 & IPv6 Address Assignment Sim – (Had different IP addressing schema.)
Huge thanks to @9tut
Best of luck to everyone preparing for the exam. You’ve got this!!
All 65 questions. Where did that question come from?
Means CCNA – new questions part name
Hi everyone! For those who recently took the exam — could you share more details about the lab sims? Specifically:
What does the topology look like?
Are there any practice sources (Packet Tracer files, 9tut labs, etc.) that closely match the real thing?
If you can, please DM me at: tutfordeatill @ gmail . com
Would really appreciate any help. Thanks!
I would say 85-90% questions were from CCNA – New Questions Part 5-16, though some questions were rephrased or slightly altered. The same goes with the Sims asked.
@Cisco, Thanks for the info. Do you know where I can find the New Questions Part 5–16 ? it on 9tut or other source?
@PleaseSir Yes, most of the questions & drag & drops are from Part 5-16. I would say do ALL the Labs here everyday until you remember the commands but they may be slight such as different topologies, and as @Cisco stated there may be different IP addressing schemes. I recently failed but will be taking it again in July so i won’t forget the 5 Labs in the beginning & these Labs are spot on as well. And, the last thing i would add is don’t worry about the time because Cisco counts 8-10 times more your score when you complete the Labs. Just carefully read what the topology description is telling you.
@Anonymous Sir, can u please DM me at: tutfordeatill @ gmail . com i will ask u some question about ccna exam ? u can use unreal email to dm me to not identify . thank you sir
Hoy 03/07 aprobé el CCNA.
Llevo un tiempo estudiando con los videos de Jeremy’s IT Lab; sin embargo, esta plataforma me ayudó mucho a comprender mejor la sintaxis, la dinámica de las preguntas y la metodología de los laboratorios.
En mi examen me tocaron 5 laboratorios y 60 preguntas:
Allowed, Native VLAN & LACP Sim
Static Routing Configuration Sim 4
IPv4 and IPv6 Connectivity Sim
VLAN & CDP Sim 2
OSPF Configuration Sim 3
También me apoyé en uno de los comentarios que hacía énfasis en las preguntas de las partes 14, 15 y 16, el cual recomiendo revisar, ya que se enfoca bastante en esos temas. Sin embargo, no descuiden el resto de preguntas, porque todas aportan conocimientos importantes para el examen.
Mi recomendación: repasen todas las preguntas, busquen entender el contexto y la lógica detrás de cada respuesta. No se limiten a memorizar o automatizar respuestas; es mucho más efectivo comprender los conceptos para poder relacionarlos y aplicarlos en distintos escenarios, ademas de que aveces cambian las palabras de las preguntas que podrias mal interpretar.
¡Muchos éxitos a los que están preparándose para rendir el CCNA! 🚀✅
I passed my exam today. I had 65 QUESTIONS, including 5 lab questions. For your practice, focus on all questions 5–16. 90% of my questions came from there, and most importantly, make sure to practice enough with the composite quizzes (50 and 102 questions) several times a day and note the questions you got wrong for review. I’m incredibly grateful to 9tut, and see you soon for the CCNP.
For the LAB :
– Trunking & LACP Sim
-Voice VLAN & LLDP Sim
IPv4 and IPv6 Assignment Sim (little change on IPV6 adress)
OSPF Configuration Sim 3 (different process ID)
Static Routing Configuration (different topology)
Good luck to everyone!!
Great news — I just cleared my exam! I had 60 questions in total, including 5 lab questions. Honestly, I was really nervous going in, but my advice is to stay calm during the exam — it makes a huge difference. For your preparation, focus on all questions from modules 5 to 16, since 95% of my questions came from there. Most importantly, practice the composite quizzes (50 and 102 questions) several times a day, and keep track of the ones you get wrong so you can review them. I’m truly thankful to 9tut, and I’ll see you all again for the CCNP!
For the LAB:
– ISL Trunking and LACP Sim
– Voice VLAN Configuration Sim 2
– Static Routing Configuration Sim 4 (similar)
– IPv4 and IPv6 Assignment Sim (Version 2)
– OSPF Configuration Sim 3
Good luck to everyone!!
@Cisco are the questions from CCNA you mean Netacad or from 9tut can you tell me from where you prepared for the questions. Personally i feel ready for the labs but i’m afraid from the 65 questions so can you give me resources please here is my mail for everyone who can help and thank you :

Thank you 9tut soo much for all the help. I passed with flying colors. I had 5 labs and 65 questions. Highly recommend going through the new questions then practice the 50 and 100 questions over and over. Note which ones you got wrong and learn from it as well.
The labs I got were
-Voice Vlan & LLDP Sim
-OSPF DR Sim
-IPV4 & IPV6 Assignment Sim
-ISL Trunking and LACP Sim

Good luck to all of you
Do we change the hostnames on the Exam?
@StrawberryHennyMargarita01 was the multiple choice questions from the newer
16 section? Or from all 5 through 16?
Hey dear community, do you think it would be enough to study the pool from 5 to 16 and also all the labs? Thanks in advance for the answer.
