CCNA radio FAQ

Is CCNA Radio free?

Yes. CCNA Exam Prep Radio is free to listen to, with no sign-up. Press the power button and you join the broadcast straight away.

How does CCNA Radio work?

It is a 65-minute recorded study show that broadcasts continuously. Everyone tuned in hears the same moment, like real radio. Turn it off whenever you like; turning it back on joins the current broadcast.

How is this different from a study podcast?

It works like a study podcast that is always on. Instead of choosing an episode, you join the show in progress, and everyone on a station hears the same moment. There is no seek bar, speed control or download.

Who are the hosts?

Maya & Ben are AI-generated hosts. The show is independent study material from OpenExamPrep; check exam rules with the official exam sponsor and practice with our free questions.

Can I keep listening while I practice?

Yes. Open practice questions, study guides or flashcards on any page. The radio keeps playing, and the header has a power button to turn it off or back on.

What is the CCNA pass rate?

Cisco does not officially publish CCNA pass rates, so any specific percentage you see online is an unofficial estimate. The passing score is commonly cited near 825 out of 1000 on a scaled 0-1000 range, but Cisco does not publish the exact threshold and equates the cut score per exam form. With proper preparation (most candidates plan 200-300 study hours plus hands-on lab time), the CCNA is achievable for dedicated entry-level candidates.

How many questions are on the CCNA exam?

The CCNA 200-301 exam has approximately 100 questions; Cisco does not publish a fixed count and the exact number varies by exam form. Question types include multiple-choice, multiple-answer, drag-and-drop, and simulation/simlet items. You have 120 minutes to complete the exam, which costs $300 USD (Cisco U.S. list price) and is delivered by Pearson VUE. The passing score is commonly cited near 825 out of 1000, but Cisco does not publish the exact threshold.
