Passing Score
In order to maintain the high integrity of our certification exams, EC-Council Exams are provided in multiple forms (i.e., different question banks). Each form is carefully analyzed through beta testing with an appropriate sample group under the guidance of a committee of subject matter experts. This approach ensures our exams offer academic difficulty, as well as “real world” applications. We also have a process to determine the difficulty rating of each question. The individual rating then contributes to an overall “Cut Score” for each exam form. To ensure each form adheres to assessment standards, Cut Scores are set on a “per exam form” basis. Depending on which exam form is challenged, Cut Scores can range from 60% to 85%.
Exam Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible to challenge the EC-Council CND certification examination, the candidate has two options:
Attend Official Network Security Training by EC-Council: If a candidate has completed an official EC-Council training either at an Accredited Training Center, via the iClass platform, or at an approved academic institution, the candidate is eligible to challenge the relevant EC-Council exam without going through the application process.
Attempt the Exam without Official EC-Council Training: In order to be considered for the EC-Council CND v2 exam without attending official network security training, the candidate must have at least 2 years of work experience in the Information Security domain. If the candidate has the required work experience, they can submit an eligibility application form along with USD 100.00, a non-refundable fee.
