How scoring works

You receive pass or fail at the end of the exam. Check Juniper's candidate agreement and exam page for current scoring details.
If you do not pass, the score report shows your performance by objective to guide your next round of study.

Question types

Multiple choice with single and multiple answers. Some questions include CLI output or configuration snippets.
Know the Junos CLI modes, the candidate and active configuration, commit and rollback, and how to read show output and hierarchical configuration.
Practice on a Junos virtual lab so that configuration structure and command syntax feel familiar.

Time and pacing

Questions are generally short. Keep a steady pace and flag anything you want to revisit, if review is available on your exam.
Read configuration snippets carefully, including the hierarchy level where each statement sits.
