What Candidates Ask About the Cisco 400-007 Exam

Can you give me an overview of the 400-007 exam?

The Cisco Certified Design Expert (CCDE) Written exam (code: 400-007) is the official Cisco exam that leads to the CCDE v3.0 certification. It sits at the Expert level of the Cisco certification track. It is also connected with related credentials such as CCDE, Cisco Certified Specialist - Design Core. Passing it proves to employers that your skills have been validated by Cisco itself, which is why the 400-007 credential keeps showing up in job postings.

How many questions are in the 400-007 exam, and how long does it take?

The Cisco Certified Design Expert (CCDE) 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 400-007 exam, and how much does it cost?

The passing score for the Cisco Certified Design Expert (CCDE) Written exam is Variable (approx. 750-850 / 1000), and the official registration fee is $450 USD. 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 (approx. 750-850 / 1000).

Are there any prerequisites for the 400-007 exam?

According to Cisco, the following applies: None. Certification policies do change from time to time, so confirm the latest requirements on the official exam page at https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/ccde-written-exam-topics-400-007 before you register.

After purchase, your Cisco Certified Design Expert (CCDE) Written material includes 365 days of free updates, and if your product expires after that, you can extend the update service at a 50% discount from your member zone.

What happens if I do not pass the 400-007 exam, and how is my order delivered?

If you take the corresponding 400-007 exam within 60 days of your purchase and do not pass, you can apply for a full refund under our 100% Money Back Guarantee, subject to a few conditions: the failed exam must be the one matching your purchase; sitting the exam within 3 days of purchase does not qualify, since that leaves too little preparation time; downloading the material without actually taking the exam does not qualify; free materials and expired orders are excluded; and the candidate name must match the payer name. To apply, send a scanned copy of your enrollment slip together with your official Score Report (PDF) within 2 days after the exam, and claims are processed within 7 days. If you would rather not take a refund, you can exchange your purchase for two free products of equal value while keeping the update service on the product you originally bought.
