Common Questions About the EC-COUNCIL 112-52 Exam
What is the EC-COUNCIL EC-Council Ethical Hacking Essentials (EHE) exam all about?
The 112-52 exam is the official EC-Council exam behind the Network Defense Essentials certification, validating the skills measured by the EC-COUNCIL EC-Council Ethical Hacking Essentials (EHE) credential. It sits at the Entry-Level level of the EC-Council certification program. It also connects to EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the 112-52 exam, and how much time do I get?
The 112-52 exam contains 75 questions to be completed within 120 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.
What score do I need to pass the 112-52 exam, and what does it cost?
The passing score for the 112-52 exam is 70%, and the official registration fee is $49.99 - $75.00 USD (varies by region/bundle). Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 166 practice questions on Getcertkey, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.
