EXIN SCNP Exam — Answers to Your Questions
The EXIN SCNP Strategic Infrastructure Security (exam code SCNP) is the exam you pass to earn the SCNP Strategic Infrastructure Security certification, a credential at the Professional level. If you are mapping out a certification path with EXIN, this exam is a milestone worth planning around.
The SCNP exam includes 40 questions, and you have 90 minutes to complete them. With that many questions on the clock, pacing is part of the challenge: divide your time into rough blocks as you go, and flag the items that stall you so you can circle back at the end instead of burning minutes on a single question. A week or two before your exam date, sit at least one full timed session in the ExamCost test engine under the same time limit, so the pace feels familiar rather than frantic on the day.
You need 65% to pass the SCNP exam, and the official registration fee is €220 - €300 / $240 - $320. That fee is due again in full for every retake, which makes thorough preparation the cheaper investment by far. Before you book your seat, test yourself with the ExamCost practice questions until you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on a consistent basis — it is the simplest way to avoid paying for the same exam twice.
No mandatory prerequisites; recommended basic IT/network security knowledge
