@ NEWBIE, Did the questions come from the “New Questions” area?
Congratulations Newbie!
@Pedroski Thank you so much!! You are awesome!!
I’m taking the exam in two weeks. Which questions do I need to focus on? the “New Questions” section or the old section?
is etherchannel LACP a new lab?
hi guys new lab,same topology but ask for deny RFC 1918 Addresses class A and B on lab named Access list and DHCP snooping sims.less than 5 new question rest of them were here. ipv6 routing all of the atlanta .new york and washington were in exam .
ip access-list extended (your access list name)
deny ip 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any
deny ip 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 any
permit ip any any
i think we should use this.
If you have 2 weeks you might have time to get through all of them probably. All of the old questions “Basic thru Miscellaneous” aren’t as much as you think. I think I got through all of 9-11 and half of 12 and all of “old” questions Basic-Miscellaneous in a week studying 4 hours / day. Basic-Misc. are not as many Q’s as you think.
I did a total question count of the amount of questions in all sections to help me get an idea of the amount of work in each section. All the new questions = 548 all the old equal 318. Here ya go…

Discussion about New or “old questions” So my post from 2/20/25 started a discussion about how many Qs from New Section vs Basic – Miscellaneous and what was meant by my reporting of what people said. There were only a few entries where people made any comment so it wasn’t too difficult for me to go back and check my notes (after digging them out of recycle bin next to my desk. All about service here folks! )
I may have misinterpreted some of what people meant, but here are the exact quotes and dates and who said it so you can go back and discern for yourself.
I personally have studied ALL of the basic-misc and ALL of 9-12.5 in the New section. Soon I’ll stop doing labs and start doing composite quizzes. If I don’t do well there I’ll go back and finish ALL of the New Questions, 12.5-15.
Good Luck All, quotes below

“All my 3 labs were from here and only about 7 questions were new on the exam.”
Anonymous 1/22/25
“thankyou 9tut. 86 questions. part 1-15.”
I failed Today! 1/24/25
“I took the exam today after studying the 1-15 new questions. I didn’t get through all of them i got 1-9 and 12-15 so I missed 9,10, 11. So most of the questions I got must have come from those three I missed because I didn’t recognize the questions. I got a handful that i knew but the majority i didn’t. ”

“I can only confirm a handful of questions came from the 1-15, but i didn’t finish them all.”

“89 questions, 5-7 new question,3 labs”
Hi all I’m running out of time for my exam, anyone who recently completed their exam tell me, Would studying new questions be enough? ie CCNA – New Questions Part 5 – 15 + New CCNA v1.1 Lab Sims
something got messed up in the who from section. Question count above is from me, not CiscoGuy
@9tut can you edit the question count post from above to be from me and not CiscoGuy? Thanks. Was supposed to say @CiscoGuy in the body.
What do you think “new questions” refers to in this comment section? I believe it means questions that haven’t been documented on the website yet. Normally, 9 tut would add these “new questions” to the new questions section on a regular basis, but there haven’t been any updates recently. Hopefully, they’ll add them soon before the exams.
Why did you leave out Part 5 to 9 under “new questions” section?
Hey everyone, just passed my exam today, 86 quiz and 3 lab, there are small number amount of new question, I think it’s less than 3 question, the rest of the quiz can be practiced here as they are exactly the same as here. As for the lab I got IPV4&IPV6 Assignment, Voice VLAN, and LACP, Thank you 9tut for the wonderfull learning experience, and I wish all of you good luck on your exam ^-^
Can do share what subnets you were asked for IPV4&IPV6 Assignment?
I passed the exam yesterday.
89 questions and 3 labs
Lab 1: VLAN and CDP simulation 2
Lab 2: Named access list simulation and DHCP snooping (I didn’t do it)
Lab 3: Voice VLAN configuration simulation.
I’ll tell you about my experience in order to pass the exam, I reviewed questionnaires 1 to 10 only once and 14 and 15 several times, from there I took the 20-question tests about 5 times, the 50-question tests about 5 times, the first few times I got 50% out of 100%, the questions I failed I reviewed again, especially trying to understand how to solve them (the images with cases like OSCP, SUBNETS, WIFI AP, etc, etc). With the above results, I decided to take the 100-question questionnaire about 5 times, and each time I took it again I improved my score, reaching up to 65%. On the other hand, I solved labs mainly on VLAN, LACP, CDP, Static Routing, PORTCHANNEL, nothing else. But here I think I should have dedicated more time to the labs because if I had to do other labs in the test I might not have passed the exam.
I hope my experience can be useful to CCNA applicants.
Note: I paid 2 months here first and then one more month because I needed to study the questions a little more telehack64″at”gmail.com
My exam is tomorrow i didn’t have the time for “new questions 12 13 14 “. Do i have chance ?
Thank you fellas! Thanks for all the input. I didn’t get through all the new questions because I ran out of time. I have since gone back and have studying them from 1-15. I’m good on the labs. I was just wondering did most of the questions come from the “new” or “old” section. Thanks again Pedroski
I forgot i’d left out 5-9 in new questions till someone mentioned it on here. I left them out because I had done all in those sections when I decided to see how many questions were left for me. Sorry about that. Maybe someone can count those and add them below?
Hey guys I just passed my exam today really hyped! Labs I got: OSPF sim 2, ether channel trunking lacp, and LLDP & Vlan lab.
Great Job Keis! Congrats. thanks for the info!
Can I dm you?
Please comment on % of questions came from part 5 to 15.
Hey guys, does ether channel trunking lacp mean 802.1Q Trunking, Native VLAN & LACP?
@Pedroski How’s your exam?
Heeeey I pass my exam today! 89 questions 3 labs – IPv4 and IPv6 Assignment Sim, Static Routing Configuration Sim 3, Trunking & LACP. I didn’t get much time for studying. Thanks 9tut I wasn’t be able to do it this prep. Good luck to all who taking it soon.
So Izzy, where did most of the questions come from? The “New Questions” area?
