156-587 - Check Point Certified Troubleshooting Expert - R81.20 -> brief question

[Cvijetin-Chris]

Hi everybody

Next week, I will take the above-mentioned exam.

Does anybody know the following:

- Number of questions? (is it still 75 questions..?)

- Passing rate? (is it still 70%..?)

- Duration?

All information that I found so far relates to earlier versions.

Thank you in advance for your help, much appreciated.

KR, Chris 🙂

The specialist exams are the same length and passing score as the core CCSA/CCSE exams.  See here for tips:

Thanks a lot Timothy_Hall 😀

Tim gave you the right response. By the way, as I always say to people, read the questions CAREFULLY, cause literally 70-80% of the time, answer is "hiding" in the question itself 😉

Good luck mate!

Pozdrav 🙂

Nema na cemu lol. I feel like I only speak the language to my dad at this point haha

Good luck on the exam mate, whether you get 70 or 100%, we all cheer for you to pass 🙂

Same here! Living in Switzerland, and having relatives spread all over the world, I barely talk the language. I'm following many Croatian and Serbian (sports) podcasts though, which keeps me in shape 🙂 

As for the exam, thanks for cheering me up, much appreciated! The preparation was very though, mainly because I have barely worked with CheckPoint solutions within the last two years. My company is more Fortinet-focused. After this certification, I will definitely include and embrace CheckPoint in my daily work... 😉

Switzerland, one of my favorite countries in the world, too nice. I know when it comes to Fortinet, their toughest exam is NSE 8, but I think it involves travelling to California for practical part, which can take 2 days or so, not that easy. I had NSE 7 at some point, but expired during Covid lol

We will be waiting for good news after you write CP exam 😉

Got it, thanks.

The question was answered by Tim in the reply marked as a Solution.

Tim's exam tips for CCSA and CCSE are worth reading in general.

CCTE R81.20 was released in August 2023 and the exam was released soon afterwards.

The duration, number of questions and pass mark have not changed.
