CCCS R81.20 (156-561) Exam Prep – Depth of questions and study resources

[lmi-xpe]

Hi everyone,

I am currently preparing for the CCCS R81.20 exam (156-561) using the official eKit, and I have a few questions I'm hoping someone with exam experience can help clarify.

For exemple, the eKit covers topics like CloudGuard CSPM and CNAPP, but only at a high level essentially an introduction to what they are, with no deeper dive into configuration, operational modes, or specific features. My concern is whether the exam questions on these topics will stay at that introductory level, or whether they go deeper and expect knowledge beyond what the eKit covers.

Finally, given that the R81.20 version of this exam integrates content from the retired CNSE-AWS and CNSE-Azure courses, I want to make sure the current eKit fully reflects the new exam scope. Is the eKit sufficient on its own, or is there additional self-paced content that is strongly recommended before sitting the exam?

Any feedback from people who have recently passed the 156-561 would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!
