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

KCNA practice exams
No complete practice exam yet. A form is 60 questions apportioned to the official weightings, and a partial one would report a score that means nothing, so none is assembled until the questions are there.

Where KCNA fits
An honest study plan
1. Read the official objectives first
Download the official objectives from Linux Foundation / CNCF and skim every line. The exam can only test what’s listed there, it’s the contract.
2. Weight your study toward Kubernetes Fundamentals and Container Orchestration
Together the top two domains are 72% of the exam. Practice them until your accuracy is consistently above 80%.
3. Drill weak domains, then sit a numbered practice exam
Use Domain Drill on your weakest areas, then sit a full-length form under exam conditions: 60 questions in 90 minutes, scored against the published pass mark. Book the real exam when you are consistently clearing that, not before.

Frequently asked questions
Is KCNA hands-on like the other Kubernetes exams?
No. KCNA is multiple choice, sixty questions in ninety minutes, which makes it the approachable entry to the CNCF line before the terminal-only CKA and CKAD.
Who is KCNA for?
Someone earlier in the journey than CKA assumes: developers, support engineers and managers who need Kubernetes vocabulary and the shape of the ecosystem rather than operational fluency.
What carries the KCNA curriculum?
Kubernetes fundamentals at 44 percent and container orchestration at 28: objects, scheduling basics, containers and images. The cloud native architecture and delivery material rounds out the rest.
Ready to practice for KCNA?
Nothing is published for this exam yet. Join the waitlist and we will tell you when the first questions ship, and nothing else.
KCNA is not for sale yet. A certification goes on sale when it has a complete practice exam behind it, and this one does not, so there is nothing here worth charging for. Everything published is free to answer in the meantime.
