Does NWExam Keep My Attempt History?
Yes. Every completed sitting is recorded — not only your best and not only your most recent — and each one stays for 65 days from the day you sat it before it is removed automatically.
Two clocks run across a Premium purchase and they are easy to run together. One is the access period, which decides whether you can still open the exam at all. The other is retention, which decides how long a finished attempt survives, and it is measured per attempt from the sitting itself rather than from your purchase or your activation. Neither is a version of the other.
What Is Kept After a Networking Practice Session Ends
Nothing is thinned out on your behalf. A sitting that went badly is kept beside one that went well, and the attempt you would rather forget is kept beside the one you would rather be judged on. The list belongs to the exam rather than to the account, and since the full-length session, the mini and the demo are three separate exam pages, each keeps its own list and you reach it from there.
That is the point of keeping all of them. A single log entry read on its own tells you very little, because nothing in it says whether the event it recorded began the fault or followed from it. Line the same window of logging up across the devices either side, which only works where they are keeping the same time, and the order becomes readable. A run of attempts behaves the same way, and it only exists because nothing was discarded for you in between.
How Long a Recorded Attempt Stays
Retention is 65 days, and it is counted from the attempt. Not from the day you bought the exam, not from the day access was activated, and not from the last time you signed in. Each sitting carries its own expiry from the moment it ended, so records leave one at a time in the order they were made rather than the whole history clearing on a single date. The removal is automatic and scheduled: nothing asks you first and nothing warns you.
If you want a sitting to outlast that window, take what you need out of it while it is there — what you got wrong, what you were unsure of, and what the review told you about the ones you guessed at. The record is a working surface with a shelf life rather than an archive.
What Each Recorded Sitting Carries
- When you started it, so an attempt can be placed against the rest of your preparation and not only against your other attempts
- How long you took, which is the one place a time figure is kept — the closing screen never showed you one
- The score, the same figure the sitting reported the moment it ended
- A pass or fail label, worked out against the mark configured for that exam
- A way back into the review, so any recorded attempt reopens with its items and their markings attached
Your record of attempts is kept for you rather than by you: every completed sitting on every networking certification exam mode you can reach, held for 65 days from the day it was sat and then removed without being asked.
