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?
