The Riverbed Certified Solutions Associate - Network Performance Management exam includes 60 – 70 (some unofficial sources); practice banks report ~245 Q&A questions to be completed within 120–180. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.

To pass the Riverbed Certified Solutions Associate - Network Performance Management exam you need Approximately 70% – 75%, and the official registration fee is USD ~200 – 250 (varies by region / test provider). A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full USD ~200 – 250 (varies by region / test provider) again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.

No formal prerequisites, but Riverbed training (e.g., NPM200) and hands-on experience with Riverbed NPM products are recommended.

Eligibility rules do change from time to time, so confirm the current requirements before you register on the official exam page.
