Written to the current five-domain outline
Cisco publishes five domains for 100-160: Essential Security Principles, Basic Network Security Concepts, Endpoint Security Concepts, Vulnerability Assessment and Risk Management, and Incident Handling.
It does not publish percentage weights for those domains. These practice tests therefore use a fixed internal allocation instead: 8 / 10 / 12 / 8 / 8 questions. That gives all 23 published objectives two questions in every 46-question set.
The level stays where CCST belongs. Expect foundational threats, access control, network and endpoint controls, risk decisions, logs, escalation and basic incident handling. No advanced routing configuration or professional-level SOC work.
A fixed 50-minute form, built for repeatable comparison
Cisco's live question count varies. Your practice form does not. Keeping every set at 46 questions means the timing, topic coverage and difficulty mix stay comparable from one test to the next.
