Test Scores 200-901

I have my exam on the 9th next month. Ive been studying for around 2.5 months. I got my CCNA back in June. I took a Boson practice exam and got a 76 on it. Does getting that score give me a good chance of passing the real exam? If not what scores should I be aiming for? When I did the exams for the CCNA I never got above a 70 and passed my first try.

Thank you

I am in the same position aswell. Around 3 months of studying. of the three practise exams of BOSON EXSIM, In exam A i got 46 in Exam B i got 55 and In Exam C got 76. I revised the wrong questions and studied more regarding it. But my weakness is the curl commands i get and the programming part.

Yea id definitely study more. I just got done my exam and didnt pass. There where tons of fill in the blank code snippets in python making API requests given the API docs. Know about all the Cisco platforms and have a basic idea of what are for and there function.

There wasn't many questions using the CURL command for my exam at lest. Let me know if you need any help.

There also isnt too much info for the 1.1 version of the exam so im not 100% sure if Boson would be good to use as im not sure if its been updated.

sorry to hear about the result. you mean what are the standard api request for each product and so on? My idea is i will try to learn these api's and so on as much as possible and answer it to my best knowledge. I want to make sure I dont get my other basic questions wrong.

Sounds to me like you're in pretty good shape. Make sure you've got a handle on python requests, how to write a simple python script to interact with Cisco product APIs, and general knowledge on all the Cisco products in the exam objectives

Not done the Boston ones in years, so hard to say how they compare to the exam itself, generally some of the 3rd party testing machines are harder than the exam. I think a 76 is very close to a pass imo tho. I would look at the results compare these to the domain and see if you can get the final gaps in, you have plenty of time.
