1.1 PURPOSE OF EXAM The Nutanix Certified Advanced Professional (NCAP) 5.10 exam tests candidates on their skills and abilities performing advanced administrative tasks and optimizing both virtualized workloads and infrastructure components on an AOS 5.10 implementation. Successful candidates demonstrate mastery of these skills and abilities.
1.2 NUMBER OF QUESTIONS The NCAP 5.10 beta exam consists of 90 multiple choice, multiple response and dragand-drop questions.
1.3 PRICING The cost for the NCAP exam is $199 USD.
1.4 PASSING SCORE The passing score for this exam is 3000, using a scaled scoring method. The scale is from 1000-6000. Scaled scores are calculated using a mathematical formula that considers a variety of factors, including the number and type of exam questions included in a specific version of the exam. Because this combination may vary in different versions of the same examination, scaled scores provide a fair score for everyone based on the version of the exam taken.
1.5 HOW OBJECTIVES RELATE TO
QUESTIONS ON THE EXAM Objectives summarize what the test is designed to measure. Objectives are developed by Exam Developers and Subject Matter Experts based on identified tasks that relate to the job of deploying and administering a Nutanix AOS 5.10 cluster. Once the initial development process is complete, these objectives are verified using an external group of individuals in the actual job role. Finally, a number of questions is determined for each objective, which relates directly to the criticality of the task in the job role.
1.6 LANGUAGES The exam is available in English.
1.7 TIME LIMIT The time limit for the exam is 180 minutes.
1.8 SCHEDULING AND TAKING THE EXAM This exam is delivered via remote proctoring. After registering for the exam and providing valid identification, you will receive information on how to take the exam from your location using a web browser. Because the exam is remote proctored, you will be provided with a locked down, monitored, secure exam experience.
1.9 CERTIFICATION TRACKS The NCAP 5.10 exam is a component of the Nutanix Administration track. The certification requires that candidates have obtained the NCP certification as well as achieved a passing score on the NCAP 5.10 exam. Alternatively, candidates who hold an existing NPP 5 certification or NSS certification that are upgrading can use their credential to meet the pre-requisite requirements. While it is not required that you attend a course, Nutanix provides training that covers the objectives on the exam. Details on this course are provided in section 4.
1.10 RETAKE POLICY If a candidate fails an exam on the first attempt, he or she is allowed two additional attempts. There is a seven-day waiting period between attempts. Like the first attempt, these are paid for individually and Nutanix recommends that you allow sufficient time between attempts to be properly prepared and to maximize your chances for success.
Please note: After three attempts, you will be unable to take the exam for 60 days, after which you can e-mail education@nutanix.com and request that your attempts are reset. Nutanix recommends you utilize the time to thoroughly review this guide and the related references and/or take the recommended training for this exam.
1.11 EXAM SECURITY Nutanix reserves the right to refuse certifying a candidate who violates exam security policies. This includes copying and redistribution of exam material, using any type of study material during the exam itself, attempting to photograph exam items and taking an exam using a false identity. Your identity is captured as part of the exam registration process and must be validated before you will be allowed to take the exam.
1.12 RECERTIFICATION Once you have achieved the NCAP 5 certification, it will remain valid until Nutanix releases the next major version of the certification (i.e. NCAP 6). At that time, you have one year to upgrade your certification to the new release before it expires. Nutanix provides a delta training covering features that are part of the AOS release that coincides with the new version of the certification.
