How Do I Access the Demo Practice Exam?

Sign in to a free NWExam account, open the page for the specific networking certification exam you are preparing for, start the demo if that exam carries one, and sit it in the browser you already have open.

There is nothing to install and nothing to download. The sitting runs in a browser on a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone, and the only thing standing between you and it is the account, which the demo and Premium both require.

Four Steps to Access the Demo Practice Exam

  1. Sign in or register. A free account is required because the demo is scored and your result needs to be attached to an account. If you do not have one yet, see How Do I Create an Account? The same account carries premium access later if you buy it.
  2. Open the page for your exam. Each demo belongs to a specific certification exam, not to the site as a whole. Browse to your vendor, then select the exact exam you are booked for or considering. A small number of exams do not include a demo; where that is the case, the exam page will not offer one.
  3. Read the exam details, then start. Before the timer begins, the page shows the number of questions, the time limit, the pass percentage and whether you can move back through questions. Note the questions-to-time ratio — that is the pacing you are about to practise.
  4. Complete it in one sitting. A demo attempt cannot be paused and resumed. If you close it part-way, nothing is saved and the next attempt starts fresh. Set aside the full time limit before you begin.

Choose the Exam Before You Choose the Demo

Networking and infrastructure is one label stretched over several very different examinations. A data-centre or storage track that expects you to reason about fabric zoning, multi-pathing and how a target is presented to a host shares a vocabulary with an enterprise routing track and very little else, item for item. Taking the demo attached to the wrong exam will tell you what the platform feels like and nothing useful about the paper you are booked for. If you are still choosing between two certifications, that is an argument for sitting both demos rather than neither.

What You Need on the Day You Try It

  • A browser on whatever device is nearest — desktop, laptop, tablet or phone. There is no application to install, on any platform
  • A stretch of time matching the limit shown before you start, since a demo attempt keeps nothing if you stop half-way
  • Nothing else. No documentation open in another tab, no lab to console into — the demo asks what the exam asks, which is what you can do with what you already carry

Access costs an account and one uninterrupted stretch of time: sign in, open the networking certification exam you are preparing for, and sit its demo the way you would sit the real thing.
