Free CCNA mock exams
Timed Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA 200-301 v2.0) rehearsals: 100 questions in 120 minutes, the real exam's time limit, drawn across the official objectives. Cisco has not yet published the exam's question count or pass mark, so the paper length and the 825 / 1000 pass line are ours.

More ways to rehearse
Every attempt draws questions you haven't met yet first · Pro.
A full-length paper drawn to the same domain weights, from the questions we rate hardest — the ones that combine two facts or weigh workable options against each other.
One exam domain at the real exam's pace — for the domain your last mock went worst in.
What's in a CCNA mock paper
Each paper draws its questions per domain in the same proportions Cisco publishes for the real CCNA — so a mock that goes badly in one domain is telling you something a randomly-drawn quiz couldn't.
| Domain | Official weight | Questions drawn | Share of paper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Network Infrastructure and Connectivity | 25% | 25 | 25% |
| Switching and Network Access | 25% | 25 | 25% |
| IP Routing | 20% | 20 | 20% |
| Network Services and Security | 20% | 20 | 20% |
| AI, and Network Operations and Management | 10% | 10 | 10% |
| Total | 100% | 100 | 100% |
What a CCNA paper is shaped like
Which way this particular paper applies pressure.
The clock
Cisco has not yet published the question count, so this is the pace of our 100-question papers on the real 120-minute clock. At roughly 1.2 minutes a question, this is one of the faster papers you can sit. There is no time to deliberate: you read, decide, and move. Candidates who fail this format usually knew the material and ran out of clock, so treat pacing as a skill to rehearse in its own right rather than something that will sort itself out on the day.
The weighting
Network Infrastructure and Connectivity is the largest domain at 25%, but with 5 domains in play no single one decides the result. A mock score here is usually a fair reflection of overall coverage rather than a verdict on one topic.
The standard
Cisco publishes no pass mark for the CCNA: results are reported as pass or fail. Our mocks score you on the 300–1000 scale with a line at 825, which is our yardstick, not the vendor's. Treat a result just over it as a fail in disguise and book only with a clear margin.

What trips people up on a CCNA mock
Cisco publishes neither a question count nor a passing score for CCNA, so the length and pass line of these mocks are ours, chosen to match the real time limit at a realistic pace. Read the score as a readiness signal rather than a prediction of your Cisco result, and judge yourself mainly on whether you finish every paper with time to spare.
Most items here are built on evidence: a routing table, interface counters, a spanning-tree summary, a running configuration. The trap is answering from memory of how a feature normally behaves instead of from what the output actually shows. Before you read the options, say in one sentence what the output tells you — which port is blocking, which route wins, which counter is climbing — then find the option that matches it.
Several options often differ by one keyword in a command or one value in a mask. Subnetting and wildcard arithmetic turn up across the first four domains, not just the addressing topic, and one slip can cost you an ACL, an OSPF network statement and a static route question in the same paper. If your misses cluster on arithmetic, drill it on paper until it is automatic before sitting another mock.
Version 2.0 adds a domain on AI and network operations, and candidates who skim it lose easy marks. Its questions ask you to judge a prompt or an assistant's recommendation the way a careful engineer would: is the data safe to share, is the output format usable, is the suggested command actually correct for this device? Treat AI output in a question as a claim to check, never as the answer.
The per-domain breakdown matters more than the total. Switching and network access and network infrastructure carry the most weight, so a weak result there outweighs a strong one in the smaller domains. Re-sit the domain drills for whichever area trails until it stops trailing, then come back to a full paper.
