CPPJ exam rules
These conditions supplement the General exam rules for the CPPJ exam.
Attempt conditions
Section titled “Attempt conditions”| Item | Condition |
|---|---|
| Practical duration | 24 hours from start |
| Targets | One Linux and one Windows target |
| Flags | 4 |
| Technical score | 200 points; 200/200 required |
| Report | PDF up to 100 MB |
| Report submission | 12 hours after finishing the practical phase |
The clock cannot be paused. Meeting the technical score enables the report phase; it does not issue the certification by itself.
Restorations
Section titled “Restorations”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.
Passing criteria
Section titled “Passing criteria”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.
