    Passed. Every thing here is valid. only one question I didnt see here. otherwise, all from here is valid.
    Few suggestions:
    1. First study all section (1 to 11) and try to find logic in answer rather to memorize it by heart. Memorizing will not work here. Because I noticed they changed some wrong options to look like correct options.
    2. Practice big composite quize (120 Question) at lease for 10 times. After each attempt note down your mistakes and make their seperate database of question bank of your mistakes (use Anki for this). Do it unless you crosses 90% above score in big composite quiz. It will be helpful to get prepared in time management.
    3. After that most importantly, go through each section’s (1-11) separate test and attempt all at lease once. Because i noticed that there are some questions never appered in big composite quiz of 120 question. So, Attempt all and again note down your wrong answers and make separate question for them using Anki.
    4. Review Question bank that you have created of your of your wrong answers.
    5. Practice Labs.

    Note: for making question bank i suggest you to use free tool ANKI. just take screen shot of your wrong answers along with correct answer by pressing Window+Sihft+S and paste it in ANKI. Also, If your answer is wrong, please read explanation regarding that and try to find logic behind the right answer.

    Premium Membership worths rightly. It helped me a lot.
    Thanks digitaltut

    Good Luck!

    Cool. I saw cisco video on new lab engine, however there were very little details on it. If this is VM and has real feel it will be easier to focus on matter not on flash-type GUI. Been passing cisco exams since 2007 and it was always unnecessary stress

    passed on 10 August. 91 questions and 3 labs: vrrp, hsrp, and ospf.
    thanks to all.

    Complete the exam with pass!
    All questions were here. I studied for 3 months through the official guide and it was here that I adjusted all the preparations for the test, I wouldn’t have made it without that. So thank you very much digitaltut.
    There were 94Q with 3 labs (Portchannel with Native Vlan + Logging and Netflow + GLBP).

  9. passed
    August 14th, 2023

    Passed and re-certified over the weekend. Labs were BGP allowas-in, GLBP and SPAN & Netflow.
    Although there are a lot of questions to go through here, this is really the only resource you need to pass. I didn’t even do a good job of going through all the questions but managed to pass regardless, went through Part 4-11. I didn’t really go through Part 1-3 which is Architecture Qs all the way to D&D as I didn’t leave myself enough time before my cert expired.

    Just make sure you know all the labs inside-out, I think this is where majority of the marks come from. Premium is fully legit, thanks all and good luck

    @passed, so you saying that from 4-11 sections are enough to pass this exam? without reading section 1-3 Q from the right?

  11. Zed
    August 15th, 2023

    @Charlie, not studying 1-3 has risks. I had a bunch of question from those on my exam.

  23. jfrost

    Passed ENCOR 350-401 today and renewed my CCNP SECURITY Certification!

    Here’s my study journey:
    – Started to take self-paced learning path for ENCOR in Pluralsight
    – For some topics that I need to learn more, I watched trainings from Kevin Wallace in Youtube
    – Subscribed Premium here in Digitaltut
    – Went through ALL the Topics from Architecture to Drag&Drop (299 Qs) AND New ENCOR Questions Part 4-11 (597 Qs) – TWICE. Took the quiz for each topic
    – Went through ALL Simulation Exams (14 Sims) and practice it everyday using Digitaltut’s online simulator and EVE-NG
    – Took Big Composite Quiz and passed it above 90% ten times

    How’s my experience during the exam?
    – I got 94 Questions (Single answer, Multiple answers, Drag&Drop)
    – 3 Sims (Span Netflow IP SLA Sim, VRRP Sim, and OSPF Authentication with Different Areas Sim)
    – For Sims, I was able to use ‘?’ and ‘Tab’ keys. I can also execute “show run” in the devices

    Tips:
    – If you want to pass this exam, you have to dedicate yourself in studying, not just memorizing!
    – Understand the concept and reason behind each question
    – Practice the concepts in real life scenarios (for me I built a Lab using EVE-NG, everything is free!)
    – The exam is only to validate your skills, not the other way around
    – It is expected from you in real life that you understand and perform if not all, most of the topics that has been covered in this exam
    – Remember, this is a Professional level exam so it’s not good if you take this as an entry level path to your Networking career

    I want to thank Digitaltut for building very useful guide and resources. Looking forward to learning again with you in the next 3 years!

    SOLI DEO GLORIA!

    Passed ENCOR yesterday, did not see a score at the end of the exam or could i find it on Pearson’s site. I got a few new questions, sadly i don’t remember what they are.

    Study Journey

    1. Self-study, used the cisco press book, INE & CBT Nuggets CCNP Encor videos.
    2. Sub to premium and did the big composite test “102q” multiple times.
    3. Studied Part 4 to 11. Used the VCE editor to shrink the larger tests into smaller 100q per test.
    4. Used my 8+ years of real-world experience.

    Exam experience
    – I got 94 questions and about 3 to 5 new questions, don’t remember what they are sadly.
    – got SIM, Configure HSRP between 2 routers
    – OSPF config with no “network statement”
    – BGP lab with as-override on R2 as the solution

    recommendations

    – if you have experience put in about 5 to 6 months of studying. “No swatting” understand the core concepts as the exam has a lot of trick questions. study, study, study and lab, lab and labs.
    – if you have experience, you are strongly familiar with cisco core routing and are comfortable with the DEVOPS section to the course then 3 months be enough.
    – if you are a praying man, pray that alot of the questions you are great with shows up on the test.

    I want to thank Digitaltut for building very useful guide and resources.

    Just want to ask, for HSRP and GLBP Labs, is it required to configure preempt on the switches with default priority? Both switches should have preempt config?
