This is a great question. The official Cisco Learning Network (CLN) review materials, especially the practice exams, are some of the closest you'll get to the actual exam in terms of question format and the way concepts are tested. They are designed by the same people who make the exam.
Key comparison:
Similar: The depth of topics and the way they frame scenarios is very accurate.
Different: The actual exam can feel a bit more tricky with its wording, and the pressure is obviously higher.
My advice: If you can consistently score 85-90% on the CLN practice exams, you are in a very good position. However, don't rely on them alone. Make sure you also have hands-on experience with Packet Tracer or real gear for the simlets. Good luck with your studies!
Hi @VionVlad , the Cisco Exam Review is a good structured refresher—it aligns well with CCNA topics and helps spot weak areas. However, it’s less detailed than the real exam, which includes deeper scenario-based and hands-on questions. Use it as a supplement, not your only prep—combine it with labs and practice tests for best results.
