ACSP Exam FAQs for 2026 Candidates

Which certification does the ACSP exam lead to?

The ACSP exam is the official Hewlett Packard Enterprise (Aruba) exam behind the Aruba-ACSP certification, validating the skills measured by the HP Aruba Certified Solutions Professional credential. It sits at the Professional / Intermediate level of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (Aruba) certification program. It also connects to Aruba Certified Switching Associate (ACSA), Aruba Certified Switching Expert (ACSX), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

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

The ACSP exam contains 60 questions to be completed within 90 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 ACSP exam, and what does it cost?

The passing score for the ACSP exam is Approximately 71%, and the official registration fee is USD 230. 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 85 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.

Are there any prerequisites for the ACSP exam?

Aruba Certified Switching Associate (ACSA) recommended or equivalent networking experience. Requirements can change when Hewlett Packard Enterprise (Aruba) revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.

Can I try the ACSP practice questions before I buy?

Yes. Getcertkey provides a free ACSP PDF demo so you can review the question style and answer quality before purchasing. Every purchase also includes 365 days of free updates — if HP revises the exam during that period, the updated material reaches you at no cost. Once the free-update year ends, you can extend your update service at a 50% discount.

What if I fail the ACSP exam, and how is my order delivered?

Every HP Aruba Certified Solutions Professional purchase on Getcertkey is covered by a 100% money-back guarantee with clear conditions: if you take the corresponding exam within 60 days of your purchase and do not pass, you can claim a full refund by submitting a scanned copy of your exam enrollment slip and your official score report as a PDF within two days of the exam date; claims are processed within seven days of submission. The guarantee does not apply to exams taken within three days of purchase, to material that was downloaded but never used in an exam attempt, or to free products and expired orders, and the candidate name must match the payer name. If you would rather not take a refund, you can instead exchange your purchase for two free exam preparation products of equal value and keep the update service on your original product.

Delivery is instant: your download is sent to your email within one minute of payment, with no limit on how many computers you may install the material on. If nothing arrives within two hours, check your spam folder and contact customer service for help.
