This free CCNA practice test mirrors the structure and difficulty of the real CCNA 200-301 v2 exam. Every question is written against the official 2026 exam blueprint published by Cisco, ensuring you practise exactly what the exam tests — not last year's objectives.
The CCNA blueprint is divided into 5weighted domains. Questions on this page are distributed proportionally across each domain, so the mix you see here reflects the same weighting you'll face on exam day. High-weight domains like IP Routing and Network Services and Security contribute the most questions, meaning focused practice on these areas gives you the highest return on study time.

Arrange steps in the correct order
Each chapter page covers one topic in depth — theory, key concepts, and focused practice questions. Use these to close knowledge gaps before returning to full practice tests.
Getting the most from practice questions requires more than just clicking through answers. Here is the study method used by candidates who pass CCNA on their first attempt:
Answer before revealing
Read each CCNA question fully, eliminate obviously wrong choices, then commit to an answer before clicking to reveal. This active recall process is what builds lasting knowledge.
Read every explanation
Even when you answer correctly, read the full explanation. Knowing WHY the right answer is correct — and why the distractors are wrong — is what separates a 750 score from a 900 score.
Track weak domains
Note which CCNA domains you get wrong most often. Then do a targeted 20-30 question session focused only on that domain until your accuracy improves.
Simulate exam pacing
The real CCNA gives you roughly 1.2 minutes per question. Use the 60 or 120-question sessions to practise hitting that pace comfortably.
Most candidates who pass CCNA on their first attempt report doing between 400 and 800 practice questions over 4–8 weeks of preparation. With 1,450+ questions in the Courseiva bank, you have more than enough material to build that repetition without seeing the same question twice.
Answer each question to reveal the full explanation and correct answer. This starter set is drawn from all 5 exam domains in blueprint proportion. Use the session selector to start a longer focused practice run.
A network administrator is troubleshooting a wireless connectivity issue in a large office. Users on the 5 GHz band report intermittent disconnections and slow performance, while 2.4 GHz clients are unaffected. The office uses a Cisco 9800 WLC with APs that support 802.11ac Wave 2. The administrator checks the WLC's RF profile and notices a high number of channel utilization reports on channel 36. What is the most likely cause of the problem?

A network administrator is configuring a new Windows workstation on a small office network that uses IPv4 addressing. The workstation must be able to communicate with devices on other subnets and resolve hostnames via a company DNS server at 10.10.10.5. The administrator has already set the IP address to 10.10.10.10 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Which additional parameter must be configured to meet both requirements?

A user reports that their computer cannot access the network. The technician checks the computer's IP configuration and finds an APIPA address (169.254.x.x). The computer is connected to a switch port on VLAN 20. The DHCP server is located on VLAN 1. The technician then examines the router's interfaces using 'show ip interface brief' and sees that all interfaces shown are up/up. What should the technician do next?

A network administrator is troubleshooting connectivity issues in a switched network. Users on VLAN 10 report intermittent connectivity to the server farm. The network uses Rapid PVST+ as the spanning-tree protocol. The administrator examines the switch that is the root bridge for VLAN 10 and notices that one of the uplink interfaces to an access switch is in a blocking state. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

A network administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity issue between two remote sites connected via a WAN link. Hosts on VLAN 10 at Site A (192.168.10.0/24) cannot ping the server at Site B (10.10.20.100). The router at Site A has a default route configured with the next-hop IP address 10.10.10.2. The administrator checks the routing table on Router A and notices that the default route is not installed. What is the most likely cause of the problem?

A network engineer notices that internal hosts (192.168.1.0/24) can reach external servers on the internet, but replies from external servers never reach the internal hosts. The router R1 is configured with dynamic NAT to translate the internal subnet to a pool of public IPs (203.0.113.10-203.0.113.20). The engineer runs 'show ip nat translations' and sees only a few stale translations. What is the most likely cause of the issue?

Answer all 20 questions to see your domain score breakdown
A structured study plan dramatically increases your chances of passing CCNA on the first attempt. The most effective approach combines reading the official Cisco documentation or a study guide, watching video explanations for difficult concepts, and then reinforcing everything with daily practice questions.
We recommend the following weekly structure for CCNA preparation:
Cover each CCNA domain systematically. Read the exam objectives, watch explanatory content, and do 10–20 practice questions per domain to test understanding as you go.
Run full 50–60 question mixed sessions daily. Review every wrong answer in detail. Identify which domains are consistently scoring below 70% and revisit those study materials.
Do 100–120 question timed sessions to simulate real exam conditions. Aim for consistent scores above 80% before booking your exam date. A score above 80% in practice typically translates to a passing CCNA score.
On exam day, the CCNA tests your ability to apply knowledge to realistic scenarios — not just recall definitions. This is why reading explanations and understanding the reasoning behind every answer matters more than simply grinding question volume. Use the high-count sessions (100, 120) in the final weeks as your confidence benchmark.

Every question is written against the official CCNA exam blueprint published by Cisco. Our questions follow the same wording style, scenario complexity, and answer structure as the actual exam. They are original questions — not brain dumps — so you learn the underlying concepts and reasoning, not just memorised answers. Candidates who study with brain dumps often pass but have no transferable knowledge; Courseiva questions make you genuinely competent.
Most candidates who pass CCNA on their first attempt do 30–60 questions per day. Use the Quick 10 session for daily warm-ups when you are short on time. On study days, run a 50 or 60-question session to build stamina. Reserve 100 and 120-question sessions for the final two weeks when you want to simulate real exam conditions and benchmark your readiness.
The CCNA covers 5 domains: Network Infrastructure and Connectivity (20%), Switching and Network Access (20%), IP Routing (25%), Network Services and Security (25%), AI and Network Operations (10%). Each domain carries a different weight, so allocate your study time accordingly. The highest-weighted domains — IP Routing and Network Services and Security — should receive the most attention.
Exam dumps are memorised question-and-answer lists taken from actual exam papers, often obtained illegally and shared without Cisco's authorisation. Using them violates your NDA and Cisco's certification agreement, and can result in certification revocation. Courseiva questions are original — AI-assisted, checked against the official exam objectives, and published under the editorial oversight of an engineer with 12+ years' experience. They test the same knowledge areas using new scenarios and wording. You learn the material, not just the answers.
