ROUTE FAQs & Tips

August 1st, 2018 in ROUTE 300-101 Go to comments

In this article, I will try to summarize all the Frequently Asked Questions in the ROUTE 300-101 Exam. Hope it will save you some time searching through the Internet and asking your friends & teachers.

1. Please tell me how many questions in the real ROUTE exam, and how much time to answer them?

There are 50 questions, including 4 lab-sims. You have 120 minutes to answer them but if your native language is not English, Cisco allows you a 30-minute exam time extension (150 minutes in total).

2. How much does the ROUTE 300-101 cost? And how many points I need to pass the exam?

This exam costs $300. You need at least 790/1000 points to pass this exam.

3. I passed the ROUTE exam, will I get a certificate for it?

No, Cisco does not ship ROUTE Exam certificate, it only ships you a certificate after completing the full CCNP track of 3 exams (ROUTE, SWITCH & TSHOOT) within three years. Once again we have to notice that you need to finish these three exams within three years (not nine years). Many candidates misunderstand this and think they have nine years to complete three exams.

4. Which sims will I see in the ROUTE exam?

The popular sims now are Policy Based routing sim, EIGRP OSPF Redistribution sim, OSPF Evaluation Sim and EIGRP Evaluation Sim and please notice that the IP addresses, router names may be different (it is also true for Drag and Drop questions)

5. How many points will I get for one sim?

Maybe you will get about 80 to 100 points for each sim, just like the CCNA exam.

6. In the real exam, I clicked “Next” after choosing the answer, can I go back for reviewing?

No, you can’t go back so you can’t re-check your answers after clicking the “Next” button.

7. What is the difference between the old BSCI & the new ROUTE exam?

In the new ROUTE exam, there are no IS-IS, DHCP, Multicast questions so you can ignore them if you are reading old BSCI books. In fact, DHCP & Multicast are good topics and maybe you will have a chance to learn about them in other Cisco exams.

8. Can I use short commands, for example “conf t” instead of “configure terminal”? Will I get full mark for short commands?

From the comments on this site, maybe you will get full mark for short commands. But sometimes short commands don’t work so please be careful with them. We highly recommend you should learn the full commands.

9. What are your recommended materials for ROUTE?

There are many materials for learning ROUTE but below are popular materials that many candidates recommend.

Books

CCNP ROUTE Official Certification Guide

ROUTE Student Guide

CCNP ROUTE Portable Command Guide

CCNP Route Quick Reference Sheet

Video training

CBT Nuggets

Simulator (all are free)

 

GNS3 – the best simulator for learning ROUTE

Packet Tracer

10. How much time should I spend on each sim?

You should not spend more than 15 minutes for each sim. Recall that you only have 90 minutes so if you spend 15 minutes for each sim x 4 sims = 60 minutes. The 30 minutes left is for solving 46 multiple choice & drag-and-drop questions. If you are not a native English speaker and have 30-minute expansion (ask the mentor to confirm) than you can spend 20 minutes for each sim.

11. Can I pass without doing sims?

As mentioned above, each sim will cost you from 80 to 100 points. In the real exam you will have to solve 4 sims that give from 320 to 400 points. Suppose you answer all other questions perfectly then you will get 600 to 680 points but the passing score is 790. It means that you surely fail if ignore them.

From the calculation above, if you miss only one sim the chance to pass is average but if you miss two, the chance to pass is very, very low.

12. Are the exam questions the same in all the geographical locations?

Yes, the exam questions are the same in all geographical locations. But notice that Cisco has a pool of questions and each time you take the exam, a number of random questions will show up so you will not see all the same questions as the previous exam.

13. I don’t want to lose points so should I use the “copy running-config startup-config” after finishing each lab-sim?

In the ROUTE exam, we can’t use that command so surely you will not lose any points if not using that command.

14. I passed the ROUTE exam. Do you have any site similar for CCNP exams?
We have certprepare.com for SWITCH, networktut.com for TSHOOT, voicetut.com for CCNA Voice, securitytut.com for CCNA Security, rstut.com for CCIE Written & Lab, dstut.com for CCDA. Hope you enjoy these sites too!

15. Why don’t I see any questions and answers on digitaltut.com? I only see the explanation…

Because of copyrighted issues, we had to remove all the questions and answers. You can download a PDF file to see the questions at this link: http://www.digitaltut.com/encor-questions-and-answers

Is there anything you want to ask, just ask! All of us will help you.

    Hi Guys,

    Passed today with 855. The labs are the same, I could use copy run start in the EIGRP stub sim, but the other labs did not accept it. Practice the labs, almost every one of them was in the exam.

    But the multiple choice questions…. Almost none of the questions from digitaltut was present in the exam. Luckily I’ve studied the CCNP ROUTE foundation guide, and I could answer most of the questions, or I could guess out of 2 possible answers… The topics:

    lot of:
    -IPv6
    -DHCPv6 (what three items can you configure under a DHCPv6 pool)
    -NAT64, NAT-PT, NPT

    Or very shitty questions, like:
    -How can you solve an issue with asymmetric routing when 2 ASA firewall are configured in Active/Active failover mode?
    Drag and Drop:
    -Authentication, Authorization and Accounting on the right, a bunch of options on the left.

    Good luck!

    I have to agree with Moha a lot of new questions passed but definitely not the score I was aiming for 870 – better have a good background of theory

    -Redistribution sim was the same.
    -ospf sim was different R2 and R3 is a p2p so timers are 10 40 40.
    -PBR next-hop is .2
    – EIGRP sim is the same.
    -Stateless / Statefull NAT64 drag and drop.
    -AAA Drag and drop
    – Example of config for vrf mode loose – choose from options.
    – if there is congestion on network which ipsla command can be used to identify?
    – if you execute debug interface s1/0 and debug interface s0/0 which output will you see.
    – DHCP v6 questions..
    I will put in the rest as I remember

    Sorry for the delay. I am in the US. I had OSPF, ERIGRP stub, Redistribution and PBR labs. OSPF and EIRGP simlets, and 2 D&D’s. MC were a lot of the questions that were from the more recent dumps, and reworded questions.

    Passed today with 839. Not what i wanted but it’s a pass. I’ve self studied with the Cisco press book, CBT nuggets vids, GNS3 and Packet Tracer, but the books and vids do not cover all the material in the exam which i find very annoying, so thanks to digitaltut and everyone who has contributed.

    Several new questions, one or two not even covered by @logipy May’s new questions.

    Labs were PBR, EIGRP Stub, OSPF redistribution and OSPF sim.

    The OSPF sim with the question on the routes from R1 and R2 to R3 – I could not see any answer that would suffice. Network types were PtP and Broadcast and the timers on both links were 10, 40, 40. Full DR/BDR relationship on Broadcast link, non for PtP. Two questions were to change the timers, one to add neighbour command, can’t recall the 4th. I spent the longest on this so be careful.

    You can download this sim to practice at https://www.digitaltut.com/download/ROUTE_OSPF.zip. Please use GNS3 with version older than v1.0 to open it (v0.8.3.1 for example). IOS used in this lab: c3640-jk9s-mz.124-16.bin
