What the Certified in Cybersecurity exam looks like

CC has 100 to 125 questions in 120 minutes, adaptive multiple choice (CAT). Every figure on this page is read from the official exam page and linked to it.

How many questions, and how long

ISC2 states 100 to 125 questions for CC, with a time limit of 120 minutes. That is about 1.2 minutes a question, including the time it takes to read the stem and the options.

ISC2 publishes a range rather than a fixed count, so the pace above assumes the low end of it. At the top of the range you have less time a question.

What the questions look like

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