You can take the CCNA Composite exam at any Pearson VUE authorized testing centers or call 877-404-EXAM (3926).
Follow these steps to register for a CCNA exam:
- Determine the number of exam you would like to take. (Composite exam number is 640-802.)
- Register with the nearest Pearson VUE testing center. At this time, you will be asked to pay in advance for the exam. The current fee for the exam is $150.00 and must be taken within one year of the time of payment. You may also schedule exams up to six weeks in advance or as late as the day you are planning to take it on. However, if you fail a Cisco exam, you must wait five days before you are allowed to re-schedule for another shot at it. Because life can be unexpected, if something is to pop up on your test day, and you need to cancel or reschedule your exam, contact Prometric or Pearson VUE AT LEAST 24 hours in advance.
- Upon scheduling the exam, you will receive instructions regarding all appointment and cancelation procedures, the ID requirements, and information regarding the testing-center location.
Here are some general tips for exam day:
- Of course, arrive early at the exam location, so you’re able to relax and get a review in before the test. You should not be trying to study the information on this day.
- Read each of the questions carefully. Be certain of what exactly each question is asking before diving in to conclusion.
- If you’re stuck on a question, your best bet is to use the process of elimination to get rid of the obviously incorrect answers first. This can greatly improve your odds of choosing the wrong answer.
- Because you can no longer move forward or backward through the exams, you will need to double-check your answers before proceeding to the next. Make sure you don’t forget this.
- And last but not least, stay focused, attentive, and conscious throughout the whole exam.
