Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13)

CEH v13 (312-50) practice exam: 1,000 questions across all nine EC-Council domains, weighted to the blueprint. 40 free CEH v13 practice exam questions.

1,000 Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) practice questions across all nine 312-50 domains, weighted to EC-Council's blueprint, with hands-on command and drag-and-drop items and a teaching explanation on every one. Forty are free.

Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) is EC-Council's hands-on offensive-security certification for professionals who find and exploit weaknesses the way an attacker would, then report them so an organization can fix them. This CEH v13 practice exam holds 1,000 questions written to the current 312-50 objectives - the EC-Council Exam Blueprint that defines the v13 version EC-Council released in September 2024 - spread across all nine domains in the same proportions the real paper uses, with forty questions available free before you buy.

What is covered in the CEH v13 practice exam:

Every domain is represented in proportion to EC-Council's published weighting, so a practice sitting mirrors the shape of the real 312-50 paper rather than over-testing one area.

The bank follows the full engagement. Reconnaissance and scanning cover footprinting, DNS enumeration, Nmap scan types and service enumeration. System hacking covers password attacks, privilege escalation, malware and covering tracks. Network and perimeter hacking - the heaviest domain - runs through sniffing, ARP poisoning, session hijacking, social engineering, denial of service, and evading firewalls, intrusion detection and honeypots.

Web application hacking covers the OWASP risks, injection, cross-site scripting and file inclusion. The remaining domains cover wireless and Bluetooth attacks, mobile, IoT and operational-technology hacking, cloud attacks and misconfiguration, and cryptography and its weaknesses. Across all nine, the questions move from recognizing a technique to choosing the right one under a constraint, and from a single tool to the phase of an engagement it belongs to, which is where the real exam lives rather than in bare recall.

Written as a hands-on tools exam, not a memorization exam:

CEH is a tools-and-technique exam, not a definitions quiz. It asks which tool achieves a goal, which technique fits a constraint, and what an ethical hacker does next - not whether you can recite an acronym. The wrong preparation is memorizing terms and hoping the exam asks for them back, and candidates who prepare that way are surprised by how much the exam wants a decision rather than a definition. This bank is written the way the exam is set: a situation, a choice, and the reasoning that separates the right move from the plausible one, so you practice judgment under the same conditions the exam applies.

Explanations that teach the topic:

Every question carries an explanation, and none of them restates the winning option. That distinction matters more than it sounds. An explanation that says a SYN scan is correct because a SYN scan is correct teaches you nothing you can carry to a question you have not seen. Each explanation here names the reason the right answer wins and the boundary where a different choice would have been right instead - the switched network that makes ARP poisoning the way to sniff, the unsalted hash that makes a rainbow table work, the outbound-only firewall that makes a reverse shell the answer rather than a bind shell. You come away with the distinction, not the answer key, which is the only thing that transfers to the real exam.

Command-line and drag-and-drop, not just multiple choice:

The nine domains lean on tools and procedures, and this bank reflects that rather than flattening everything into four-option recall.

Exam Coach AI, beside every question:

Exam Coach AI sits beside every question while you work. Ask it what a SYN scan is, when you would enumerate instead of scan, why a reverse shell beats a bind shell through a firewall, or how ARP poisoning sets up a man-in-the-middle, and it explains the concept in plain terms - without ever telling you which option to pick. It is there to close the gap the moment a topic is not landing, so a question you got wrong turns into one you understand, and it stays on the subject of this exam rather than wandering into general chat.

The defensive counterpart: CySA+

CEH teaches the attacker's craft, and the natural companion is the defender's. Many candidates pair an offensive certification with a defensive one, and the overlap is real: the reconnaissance, exploitation and lateral movement you practice here are exactly what a security analyst learns to detect and contain. If you are building the whole skill set, our CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-004) practice exam covers the defensive analyst half, and our CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) practice exam covers the foundation many candidates take first. Together they give you the attacker's view and the defender's view of the same techniques.

How it is marked:

A sitting is marked as the plain percentage of questions you answer correctly, and the pass mark is 70 out of 100 - the same simple percentage on every attempt, never a scaled score to decode. Each launch draws 125 questions from the full pool of 1,000, weighted across the nine domains so a practice sitting mirrors the shape of the real paper rather than over-testing one area: the largest share comes from network and perimeter hacking, the smallest from the overview, wireless, cloud and cryptography domains, just as the objectives weight them. Because the pool is eight times the size of a single sitting, you can take the exam again and again and keep meeting fresh questions instead of memorizing a fixed set, and your score across attempts tells you which domains still need work.

Free preview:

40 questions are free, and they span every one of the nine domains rather than clustering in the easy ones, in the same proportion as the full bank. Before you spend anything you can see the command-line items, the drag-and-drop boards, and the taught explanations exactly as they appear in the full bank, so you are judging the real thing rather than a stripped-down sample. The free set is drawn the same way a paid launch is, so it is a fair sample of the difficulty and the format mix rather than a handful of easy warm-ups chosen to flatter the bank. Try the preview, read a few explanations end to end, and decide for yourself whether this is the practice that will get you ready for the CEH v13 exam.
