Which certification does the CNX-001 exam lead to?

The CNX-001 exam is the official CompTIA exam behind the CloudNetX certification, validating the skills measured by the CompTIA CloudNetX Certification credential. It sits at the Expert level of the CompTIA certification program. It also connects to CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+, CompTIA Cloud+, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

How many questions are on the CNX-001 exam, and how much time do I get?

The CNX-001 exam contains Maximum 90 questions to be completed within 165 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.

The passing score for the CNX-001 exam is Pass/Fail only, and the official registration fee is $499 USD.

That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.
