Validates knowledge of enterprise network architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, assurance, security and automation for designing and troubleshooting networks.
ENCOR 350-401 (v1.2 since March 19, 2026) is a 120-minute exam of performance-based lab tasks, multiple choice and drag-and-drop; Cisco publishes no question count. Candidates report about six simulated tasks and heavy automation and SD-WAN content. We compared the main options on simulator realism, question volume and price.
Most people should start with Cisco's Exam Review to find weak domains, add the Cert Guide's Pearson exams or Boson for volume and pacing, and practise for their concentration exam separately.

Cisco's own ENCOR practice exam on Cisco U., organised by the six v1.2 domains and updated in July 2026. Candidates say it includes lab items, and you can retake it until access ends.
Great fit if you want Cisco-written questions and lab-style practice for the current exam.
Poor fit if you want a large bank for repeated timed runs; add Boson or the Cert Guide's Pearson exams.
Four full practice exams and the chapter quizzes in Pearson Test Prep, with timed and topic-by-topic modes and links back to the book. Several candidates say the question style is close to the real exam.
Great fit if you are studying from the Cert Guide and want exam-style multiple choice mapped to chapters.
Poor fit if you want lab items or questions rewritten for v1.2 without wireless; use Cisco Exam Review or Boson.
Six full-length exams with explanations that link to Cisco documents, a timed simulation mode and performance reports. Some candidates call the questions broader than the blueprint; others say it built their pacing.
Great fit if you want timed full-length runs and detailed explanations, and will skip questions that stray off the exam topics.
Poor fit if you want a bank tightly focused on ENCOR's automation questions; pair it with Cisco Exam Review.
Three timed practice exams of about 100 questions each, plus 12 harder "super challenge" questions, written for the v1.2 blueprint by a CCIE instructor.
Great fit if you want a cheap extra set written for v1.2 after Cisco's exam or the Cert Guide.
Poor fit if you want lab-style items; use Cisco Exam Review.
Short quiz sessions with explanations across the six ENCOR subjects, plus weak-subject drills and a mock exam mode, on the web and in the mobile app.
Great fit if you study in short sessions on your phone and want weak-subject tracking.
Poor fit if you want lab items or deep lab practice; use Cisco Exam Review.

Not from Cisco; its official Exam Review costs $79. Pocket Prep gives 30 free ENCOR questions.
Candidates are split. One scored 60 to 70% on Boson and still passed first time, others say it covers topics the exam never asks, and a v1.2 passer used it mainly for pacing. Treat low scores as a topic list, not a verdict.
Most are multiple choice only. Candidates say Cisco Exam Review includes lab items; for configuration practice itself, use a lab tool such as Cisco Modeling Labs, EVE-NG, GNS3 or Boson NetSim.
Yes, ENCOR practice does not cover it. Cisco sells a Cisco Exam Review for ENARSI at $79, and candidates also use the Pearson exams that come with the ENARSI Cert Guide.
