Common Questions About the Cisco 300-320 Exam

What is the Cisco Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures exam all about?

The 300-320 exam is the official Cisco exam behind the Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP) certification, validating the skills measured by the Cisco Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures credential. It sits at the Professional level of the Cisco certification program. It also connects to Cisco Certified Specialist – Network Service Architecture Design, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

How many questions are on the 300-320 exam, and how much time do I get?

The 300-320 exam contains 60-70 questions to be completed within 75 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.
