What the CEH exam looks like

EC-Council states 125 questions for CEH, with a time limit of 240 minutes. That is about 1.9 minutes a question, including the time it takes to read the stem and the options.

The count is fixed and the cut is a percentage of the marks, so the number you can miss follows from it.

Multiple choice and multiple response only. No simulations, no labs, and nothing to configure.

The passing score for CEH is 85 percent.

A retake costs another $500.

CEH is valid for 3 years from the day you pass. EC-Council states the CEH credential is valid for 3 year periods and is renewed by earning EC-Council Continuing Education (ECE) credits: 120 credits per certification within a period of three years. Candidates who bypass official training pay a non-refundable eligibility application fee of $100 before they can buy a voucher, and a voucher is valid for one year from purchase, extendable once by three months for $35. EC-Council states CEH is valid for 3 year periods, renewed with 120 EC-Council Continuing Education credits per certification within three years rather than by paying a fixed renewal fee.
