CCII Exam FAQs for 2026 Candidates
Which certification does the CCII exam lead to?
The CCII exam is the official McAfee Institute exam behind the McAfee Institute certification, validating the skills measured by the McAfee Certified Cyber Intelligence Investigator (CCII) credential. It sits at the Professional level of the McAfee Institute certification program. It also connects to Certified Cyber Intelligence Professional (CCIP), Certified Expert in Cyber Investigations (CECI), Certified Social Media Intelligence Analyst (SMIA), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the CCII exam, and how much time do I get?
The CCII exam contains 130 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 CCII exam, and what does it cost?
The passing score for the CCII exam is 70%, and the official registration fee is $995 USD. 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 132 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.
