CPEH-001 Exam FAQs for 2026 Candidates
Which certification does the CPEH-001 exam lead to?
The CPEH-001 exam is the official GAQM exam behind the GAQM Information Systems Security certification, validating the skills measured by the GAQM Certified Professional Ethical Hacker (CPEH) credential. It sits at the Professional level of the GAQM certification program. It also connects to Certified Penetration Tester (CPT), Certified Advanced Penetration Tester (CAPT), Certified Information Security Professional (CISP), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the CPEH-001 exam, and how much time do I get?
The CPEH-001 exam contains 100 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 CPEH-001 exam, and what does it cost?
The passing score for the CPEH-001 exam is 70% (70/100 correct answers), and the official registration fee is USD 190 (voucher) / USD 210 (premium package with e-book). 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 876 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 CPEH-001 exam?
No formal prerequisites required; recommended to complete GAQM e-course for best preparation. Requirements can change when GAQM revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.
