What Candidates Ask About the Cisco 400-101 Exam

Can you give me an overview of the 400-101 exam?

The Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching Written exam (code: 400-101) is the official Cisco exam that leads to the CCIE certification. It sits at the Expert level of the Cisco certification track. It is also connected with related credentials such as CCIE Routing and Switching. Passing it proves to employers that your skills have been validated by Cisco itself, which is why the 400-101 credential keeps showing up in job postings.

How many questions are in the 400-101 exam, and how long does it take?

The Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching Written exam gives you 120 minutes to work through 90-110. Pacing matters more than most candidates expect, so before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the Dumpkiller test engine to learn how long you can afford per question. If an item stalls you, flag it and move on — coming back later beats burning five minutes on a single question.

What score do I need to pass the 400-101 exam, and how much does it cost?

The passing score for the Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching Written exam is Variable (Cisco does not publish passing scores), and the official registration fee is USD 450. Remember that a failed attempt means paying that fee in full again, so a timed self-assessment with Dumpkiller practice questions about a week before your exam date is a cheap way to confirm you are scoring comfortably above Variable (Cisco does not publish passing scores).

Are there any prerequisites for the 400-101 exam?
