CPPJ exam rules

These conditions supplement the General exam rules for the CPPJ exam.

ItemCondition
Practical duration24 hours from start
TargetsOne Linux and one Windows target
Flags4
Technical score200 points; 200/200 required

The clock cannot be paused. Meeting the technical score enables the report phase; it does not issue the certification by itself.

The platform allows targets to be restored when the action is available. A restoration removes changes made inside the target and the clock continues. The interface displays applicable conditions before confirmation.

You must obtain the required flags, confirm the report within the deadline and receive an approving review decision.

External assistance and disclosure of exam content are prohibited. A violation may result in a permanent ban and revocation of all issued credentials. To attempt the exam again after an unsuccessful result, see the Retry policy.
