Can anyone tell me what is the pass score?

CAn enyone confirm is it the true that there are NO SIMS in the exam and is it same for the testing sietes and remot ?

i have my exam in a few days and I have been doing the big composite quizzes and I keep getting around 88% on average… just under 90% that the site is recommending. I know passing score is 82.5% but its just too close for comfort for me. I suppose ill keep doing the quizzes and studying, I’d feel much better with getting 90-95% consistently but unfortunately that is not the case.

Hi Everyone
I passed today. I took exam from home and there were still 3 Sim:- OSPF config, OSPF Auth and EEM. I believe there were 1-2 new questions, otherwise all questions were as in this blog.
Thanks Digital Tut team, my membership worths a lot!!!

For the folks saying there are still Sim’s, are you taking this test remotely or at a testing center? This is the first I have heard of SIM’s being on the exam in awhile. I assumed given all the mass feedback that they removed the SIMs… guess I’ll practice these again as well

took the exam 2 days back and no sims, but looks like they are active now again and need to grind it. all the best to all exam takers.

Hey all .. Please can you advise if we can use “tab” when we have SIMs in the exam? many thanks,

Hi. Just passed an hour ago. 3 sims (SPAN & NetFlow, GLBP, Looging & NetFlow). Everything according to DT, except for one questions. I’ll post about that one in the appropriate section.

Hi everyone,
I passed Today. I took exam in Test Center and there were 3 sims: HSRP, Etherchanel and NetFlow with egrees trafic. All question from DT are still valid, 2-3 new question.
Thanks to DT and Good luck :)

Hi, Just passed the exam at home. There were 3 labs: OSPF with network and authentication using keychain, SPAN-Netflow(Top-talkers)-IP SLA, EMM Applet. You can use ”?” and ”tab” on the labs just like a real router/switch. Remember to save the config!. I think there were like 2-3 new questions.

Hello Everyone! I have just passed on the exam. I had BGP, EEM and OSPF Auth. All question are from DT. 1 o 2 new questions. Thanks a lot DT. Good luck for everyone!

Hi! 98% today. 3 Lab: OSPF/BGP/GLBP. 3-5 new question. You can use “?” and “tab” on the lab like just real device. Write/wr/copy-run start/ working and use it. Thx DT, and GLHF everyone.

7 New questions just added in Part 11

On the exam labs, does it reject if your command is incorrect just like in real switch?

I took my exam at the test center and passed!!! I got 3 sims, OSPF config without using network commands, BGP R2 was only configured with as-override, and HSRP. I remember seeing 1 question I haven’t seen anywhere on here about configuring Multicast within IP SLA, a few of the drag and drops had options I don’t remember seeing on here too. Had a bunch of drag and drops in general but all the rest of my questions I recognized from here.

Some people on here claimed they didn’t get any SIM’s on their exams but this appears to only have been a temporary thing, because I had 3 SIM’s on mine! To be fully prepared just practice all the SIM’s posted here (seems like they all have online sims you can practice with on this website as a premium member now) I built all the SIM scenarios on GNS3 and practiced them that way. Also you need to study all the new ENCOR questions 4-11 as well as all the subject specified links (wireless, automation, etc on the right). I then took the big composite quiz like 15-20 times until I was consistently getting 90% or higher. You only need 82.5% to pass real exam but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Doing this method you will run into the same questions a lot so it’s important to still go and read all the questions yourself as well.

As for the scoring/results, they don’t give a total amount anymore, it’s just what % you got in all 6 categories. Are you guys taking your average on those 6 categories and calling that your total score? I tried this with past exams and it didn’t reflect what they gave me as my final total score, so not sure what my actual score was for this, but a pass is a pass!!!

Thank you digitaltut so much for this content, if you all are reading these comments GET THE PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP. It’s 200% worth it!! Thank you all for the feedback as well, I’ll see y’all in 2.5 years!

@DigitalTut:

Two errors exist in this Python snippet:
exam = [“350-401”, “91 Qs”, “3 Sims”, “Failed”, “”]

Please find the corrections below:
exam[3] = “Passed”
exam[4] = “Thanks DT-team!”

@???: Congrats and thanks for sharing.

My OSPF sim had 3 routers with loopbacks, in area 1, area 0 and area 2. (From left to right).
All to be set-up with network statements (ospf process 1) and loopback IPs as Router-IDs.
As a bonus also md5 auth was required on the ethernet interfaces between the routers.

The local SPAN and Netflow sim with top talkers to be set-up was there.

And the EEM applet popped up to re-enable Loopback 0 if shut.

Question about the TLV w.r.t. DHCP Option 43. Type: 0xf1

Some of the new questions added in section 11 overhere were there too.

Looks like my Python snippet to thank the DT-team didn’t make it through whatever filter is used on this site.

Well, then I just have to do it like this:

Thank you, DT-team!

Recently passed @ exam location. The Sims are back so prepare to meet and beat them.
Studied: CBT / SDWAN / Python videos, Cisco Press Book, DigitalTut Premium.
All Q’s / Explanations / Sims @ DigitalTut are valid study material.

@DigitalTut-team: THANKS!

I passed the exam today.
Sims:
VRRP with “preempt delay 20”,
OSPF with 2 routers, no DR/BDR,
SPAN – NetFlow and IP SLA

Drag & Drop
No new questions

MCQ
1 new question

Thanks for DigitalTut Family!

Hi, what is the correct answer on this drag and drop. Is it the 1st one or the 2nd one?

1st
Configuration Management:
– Puppet is used for this type of technology
– This type of technology enables consistent configuration of infrastructure resources.
Orchestration:
– This type of technology provides automation across multiple technologies and domains
– Ansible is used for this type of technology

2nd
Configuration Management
– this type … enables consistent configuration of infrastructure resources
– ansible
Orchestration
– this type … across multiple technologies and domains
– puppet

The answer to your Q is posted in the comments section of Part 11 (new Q) on this site

Is the part 4-11 enough for the mcq? or do I also need to review the questions on the specific topics?

@richter, part 4-11 mcq is not enough. You also need to review all the specific topics

How can I get the latest questions as I have my exams at the end of the month? Can someone pls share at pademba55 at gmail .com
Thank you.

How can you pass the 350-601 Exam? My last exam was a failure.

Are there still problems with keyboard layout?

@sam dumps

Passed the exam yesterday. Hands down, this is the best place to study for CCNP ENCOR, and way more less cost than other so called dumps sites which are not updated/explained. I think this is my last time I will renew Cisco, this is too much for me at over 40 years old. This is my 5th renew so I want to thank you all digitaltut (and other sites related) whoever you are!!!

I took the exam online and yes the sims are back. Which for me was so great because these sims are easy points. I had BGP, GLBP and SPAN/netflow. Also the Qs are all from here, only 1 new q about virtualization but was easy. I studied about two months 3-4 hours per day with CBT for concepts explaining/configs and all material from here. And about 25 big composites passed with more than 90%.

Good luck to all!

Hi, please advise how many automation questions appear on the real exam? Thanks.

@Nobody: Around 95 incl. 3 or 4 sims.

@Nobody
My guess: 10-15 automation questions, the EEM sim included.

I passed the test last week. Just waiting on the official score. had 3 sims (BGP R2, OSPF, and GLBP). dose anybody know how long it takes to get the official score? Needing proof of passing so that I can submit reimbursement paper work. Anyway, site help tremendously.

According to Cisco blogs it could take several (up to 10?) days before an exam result / score is processed in their cert tracking system. Until then certifications will still show as ‘about to expire’. The preliminairy score report should have been handed to you (printed copy) after completing the exam and later that day by email. That is, if you take/took your exam at a Test-center.

I passed the exam yesterday, not sure on the score though as I have no received it yet. Everyone else’s reports are correct regarding the sims. I had the bgp sim (no access to middle router), GLBP, and a third sim that I can’t recall. I think it had IP SLA monitoring on it. I read the cisco official cert guide, watched all the videos on CBT nuggets, and went over every single question on this site twice. I went over the new questions 7-11 a couple times extra, I feel like most of the questions were probably from those batches of questions.

Good luck everyone and thanks to all the folks at digital tut! Premium membership is certainly worth it.

Drag and drop the REST API authentication method from the left to the description on the right.
REST_API_Authentication.jpg

Answer:

+ public API resource: secure vault
+ username and password in an encoded string: HTTP basic authentication
+ API-dependent secret: token-based authentication
+ authorization through identity provider: OAuth

Can anyone verify if this is correct? The answer token-based and OAuth doesn’t match the explanation.

@richter: See D&D questions (part 1) for the correct answers (premium access)

@Anyone: That came from D&D part 1, and the explanation for the bottom two are different from the answer.

@digital tut
when are EVE files will be available for all labs?

There’s a pdf with all the labs somewhere. I can’t find it now.

Anyone know what I’m talking about? I want to use it to build the labs in EVE.

Task 1. Configure OSPF without using the “network” statement under the “router ospf” configuration section.

R1(config)#interface e0/0
R1(config-if)#ip ospf 1 area 0
R1(config-if)#interface lo0
R1(config-if)#ip ospf 1 area 0
R2(config)#interface e0/0
R2(config-if)#ip ospf 1 area 0
R2(config-if)#interface lo0
R2(config-if)#ip ospf 1 area 0
R3(config)#interface lo0
R3(config-if)#ip ospf 1 area 0

More on R2, R3:
R2,R3(config)#interface e0/1
R2,R3(config-if)#ip ospf 1 area 0
R3(config)#interface e0/1
R3(config-if)#ip ospf 1 area 0

Verification

R1,R2#show ip ospf neighbor

Task 2. Ensure that all networks are advertised between the routers.

R1,R2,R3#show ip route (or “show ip route ospf” if possible) to check all advertised routes.

Task 3. Configure a single command under each Ethernet interface to prevent OSPF neighbors from participating in a DR/BDR election and ensure that no extra host routes are generated.

R1,R2(config)#interface e0/0
R1,R2(config-if)#ip ospf network point-to-point
R2(config)#interface e0/0
R2(config-if)#ip ospf network point-to-point

More on R2, R3:

R2,R3(config)#interface e0/1
R2,R3(config-if)#ip ospf network point-to-point
R3(config)#interface e0/1
R3(config-if)#ip ospf network point-to-point

Note: Setting OSPF to point-to-point mode results in advertised routes containing the actual subnet mask instead of the default behavior of advertising /32 for a loopback interface.

Don’t forget to save the configuration

R1,R2,R3#copy running-config startup-config

@richter: on that D&D page (comments section) there is a discussion w.r.t. that Q. To me the explanations seem to match, but let’s agree to disagree on that. The link to the documentation (in the mentioned discussion) is no longer working unfortunately.

I have passed exam on 9th April.most of questions are form here ..dumps are valid…got 3 SIM …EEM script, Ospf configuration, ip sla and netflow.
My certificate is not yet reflected on Cisco site…can anyone know how much time it took after clear exam to reflect certificate on site

What score were you having in the dump to be approved? I’m at 80% and I think that’s enough. +10000 questions is too many to record them all.
Is it true that in the test we already started with 300pts?

is there any pdf FOR ALL the questions together ??

Any report about the exam today? someone that I applied the exam today?

Please I am struggling to study I am using CBTNuggets, the la s from well Odom, the OCG and some labs in EVENG can you guys please email me with your study methods or some motivation been studying for 5 months and I never feel prepared enough! And I really need to get this cert to start applying to remote jobs! Thank you so much for your answer for real I really appreciate it! Kitty 1120 at hotmail . Es

@ Kitty69
The problem with CBT nuggets is that it does not have documentation to review
I really prefer Udemy
Check those they are very practical , with Labs and very good pdf’s

Also for Lab I prefer PNETLab over EVE-ng

Are the 11 Labs in Digital Tut exact the same as the ones in the real exam ?

@sh sh thank you so much for your answer! I really do appreciate it and I’ll follow your tips! :)
