Every other cert app shows you four options and a timer. ITWars gives you CCNA practice labs on a real network simulator — a broken network, a ticket and a clock — then makes you prove the fix with a real IOS console in your browser. Nothing to download.
This is the whole loop. Nine minutes, no multiple choice until the very end — and the last step is the only one most apps ship.
“Accounting can’t reach the file server since the maintenance window. Everything else is fine.” You get a topology and a console. Nobody tells you the layer.
show ip route, show vlan brief,
show interfaces trunk. The simulator answers like the box would —
including when your theory is wrong.
The grade is a reachability test, not a string match. Any configuration that actually moves the packet passes. Any that doesn’t, doesn’t.
Your readiness number moves — a little. It is shrunk toward the mean until you have given it enough evidence to be confident about you.
The ones worth answering before you sign up.
No. Every question and lab is written against Cisco's published exam objective topics. There is no leaked exam content here, and there never will be — aside from being against Cisco's terms, memorising a dump does not survive a lab question.
It is a real simulator. It parses a subset of IOS, keeps per-device interface state, builds routing tables with administrative distance and longest-prefix match, and resolves ping by walking the topology hop by hop. Labs are graded on whether traffic actually flows, so any working configuration passes — there is no expected answer string to guess.
CCST Networking and CCNA in full — every lab, incident, flashcard, practice exam and study mode on those two tracks, plus readiness scoring, streaks and 10 ranked arena matches a day. It is not a trial and it does not expire.
Flashcards, practice exams and speed drills are built for it. The lab console works on a phone too, though a keyboard makes the configuration exercises much less painful.
It will tell you when you are not. The readiness score is on Cisco's real 300–1000 scale and is shrunk toward the mean while the evidence is thin, so a handful of lucky answers cannot read as "exam ready". It also tracks calibration — how often you were certain and wrong — which is the gap that actually fails people.
