Simulate the real AWS Certified Advanced Networking Specialty ANS-C01 exam with full-length timed sessions. Questions drawn proportionally from all 4 official blueprint domains — the same mix you'll face on test day.
Simulate real exam conditions
For the most realistic ANS-C01 simulation, start a 60 or 120-question session, put away all notes, set a timer matching the real exam duration (170 minutes), and commit to each answer before moving forward. This trains the time management and decision-making skills the real exam tests.
This free ANS-C01 mock exam uses the same question distribution as the real AWS Certified Advanced Networking Specialty ANS-C01 exam. Each session draws questions proportionally from all 4 official blueprint domains published by Amazon Web Services, so the topic mix you see accurately reflects what you'll face on test day.
ANS-C01 Domain Distribution
Network Management and Operations
Network Security, Compliance and Governance
Network Design
Network Implementation
Every question is written by certified engineers against the 2026 ANS-C01 exam objectives. These are original practice questions — not dumps — so you build real understanding rather than memorising answers.
Both the mock exam and practice test use the same question bank. The difference is in how you use them — and when to use each during your ANS-C01 study plan.
Practice test — for learning
Use the ANS-C01 practice test when you are studying a domain. Answer questions, read every explanation immediately, and build understanding. Do 10–30 questions per domain per session. This is your primary study tool for the first 4 weeks.
Go to practice test →Mock exam — for simulation
Use the ANS-C01 mock exam in the final 1–2 weeks before your test date. Complete a 60 or 120-question session without stopping, manage your time, then review all results at the end. This builds exam-day stamina and surfaces final weak spots.

A company has deployed a centralized NAT gateway in a VPC and uses VPC Flow Logs to monitor traffic. The network team notices that traffic from an EC2 instance in a private subnet to the internet is not being logged in the flow logs. The flow logs are configured at the VPC level with the 'ALL' format. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

A company wants to enforce that all outbound traffic from its VPC flows through a centralized inspection VPC for security monitoring. The VPCs are connected via Transit Gateway. Which set of actions should a network engineer take to ensure that traffic from application VPCs is routed to the inspection VPC before reaching the internet?

A company is migrating its on-premises data center to AWS. The network team needs to establish connectivity between the on-premises network and multiple VPCs in a single AWS Region. The company has a Direct Connect connection and wants to minimize latency and cost while maximizing bandwidth utilization. Which solution meets these requirements?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation
A company is deploying a multi-tier web application across two AWS Regions. The application uses an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in each region, and traffic must be distributed to the closest healthy ALB using Route 53 latency-based routing. The application requires that clients maintain the same source IP address when the request is forwarded from the ALB to the backend targets. The backend targets are EC2 instances in private subnets. The company also needs to ensure that traffic between the ALB and targets stays within AWS. What should the company implement to meet these requirements?

Answer all 4 questions to see your domain score breakdown
Sitting the ANS-C01 under real exam conditions is a skill in itself. Candidates who underperform often do so not because of knowledge gaps, but because of poor time management or test anxiety. Use your final mock exam sessions to address both.
The ANS-C01 exam lasts 170 minutes. Do not spend more than 90 seconds on any single question on the first pass. Flag difficult ones and return to them after completing the rest.
On every question, immediately eliminate obviously wrong choices. Even if you are unsure between two options, narrowing to two doubles your odds. Most ANS-C01 distractors contain a subtle error — re-read the scenario constraint before committing to the answer that sounds most familiar.
Amazon Web Services writes many ANS-C01 questions as realistic scenarios. Read the final sentence first — it tells you what is being asked. Then re-read the scenario with the question in mind to avoid wasting time on irrelevant details.
The real ANS-C01 is a mental marathon lasting 170 minutes. In the week before your exam, complete at least two full timed mock sessions on separate days to build concentration stamina. If you cannot stay focused for 170 minutes in practice, you will struggle on exam day.

Scaled scoring
The ANS-C01 uses scaled scoring — your raw percentage correct is converted to a score out of 1000. Consistently scoring above 80% on mock exams puts you well above the 750/1000 threshold, giving you a buffer for any unexpected question types on the real exam.
Yes. Courseiva provides free ANS-C01 mock exam questions across all official exam domains. The platform includes timed simulation, per-domain score breakdown, missed-question review, and readiness tracking. No account required — free forever, supported by advertising.
The practice test is optimised for learning: you see explanations after each question immediately. The mock exam is optimised for simulation: you answer all questions under time pressure and review at the end. Use practice tests for studying and mock exams for benchmarking.
Aim for consistent scores of 80% or above on full-length ANS-C01 mock exams before booking your test date. The official passing score of 750/1000 corresponds to roughly 72–75% correct answers, so an 80% buffer accounts for difficulty variation and question styles on the real exam.
Most candidates who pass ANS-C01 on their first attempt complete 3–5 full-length mock exams in the two weeks before their test. This is enough to identify final weak spots, build stamina, and verify readiness without over-stressing or running out of fresh questions.
No — all Courseiva questions are original, written by certified engineers against public Amazon Web Services exam blueprints. Exam dumps are memorised real exam questions shared illegally. Using dumps violates your Amazon Web Services certification agreement and can result in your certification being revoked. Our questions make you genuinely competent, not just test-day lucky.
