A current guide to Certified Ethical Hacker v13, including the 4-hour, 125-question knowledge exam, Pearson VUE, training-center and remote proctoring options, current blueprint domains, eligibility routes, variable cut scores, and the CEH Practical path toward CEH Master.
CEH tests ethical hacking knowledge across reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, system hacking, malware, network and perimeter attacks, web applications, wireless networks, mobile, IoT, OT, cloud, and cryptography.
Use these points before preparing for the EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker exam.
CEH is administered by EC-Council.
The current CEH knowledge exam has 125 multiple-choice questions and a 4-hour time limit.
EC-Council lists training-center proctoring, online remote proctoring, and Pearson VUE testing centers as CEH delivery options.
Candidates qualify through official EC-Council training or an eligibility application route for candidates with relevant information security experience.
EC-Council uses exam-form cut scores; typical passing cut scores range from 65% to 85% depending on the form.
Candidates who also pass the 6-hour CEH Practical exam with 20 real-world challenges can earn the CEH Master credential.
EC-Council publishes the CEH Exam Blueprint v5.0 for the current knowledge exam. Preparation should track the nine blueprint domains instead of relying only on course-module names.
The CEH certification exam is a 4-hour multiple-choice knowledge exam. Hands-on labs help reinforce skills, but the knowledge exam requires precise recognition of methods, tools, controls, and scenario cues.
EC-Council lists training-center proctoring, online remote proctoring, and Pearson VUE testing centers. Candidates should confirm the delivery channel tied to their voucher and appointment.
The CEH Practical exam is a separate 6-hour performance exam with 20 challenges. Passing both the knowledge and practical exams is the path to CEH Master.

EC-Council's Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) v13 validates knowledge of ethical hacking methodology, attack vectors, defensive controls, security tools, and AI-aware hacking workflows. The current CEH knowledge exam is a 4-hour, 125-question multiple-choice exam. EC-Council also offers a 6-hour CEH Practical exam with 20 real-world challenges; candidates who complete both can earn the CEH Master credential. Current blueprint coverage includes Information Security and Ethical Hacking Overview, Reconnaissance Techniques, System Hacking Phases and Attack Techniques, Network and Perimeter Hacking, Web Application Hacking, Wireless Network Hacking, Mobile Platform, IoT, and OT Hacking, Cloud Computing, and Cryptography. Candidates become eligible through official EC-Council training or an eligibility application route, and EC-Council states that the exam can be proctored at a training center, online through EC-Council remote proctoring, or at Pearson VUE testing centers.
EC-Council lists 125 multiple-choice questions for the current CEH knowledge exam.
The CEH knowledge exam is 4 hours long.
EC-Council states that CEH can be proctored at a training center, online through EC-Council remote proctoring, or at Pearson VUE testing centers.
EC-Council uses weighted cut scores that vary by exam form, with typical passing cut scores ranging from 65% to 85%.
CEH Master is earned by candidates who pass both the CEH knowledge exam and the 6-hour CEH Practical exam with 20 real-world challenges.
Verify whether you qualify through official EC-Council training or need the eligibility application route before scheduling the exam.
Prioritize Network and Perimeter Hacking, Reconnaissance Techniques, System Hacking Phases, and Web Application Hacking because they carry the largest combined share of the blueprint.
Practice ethical hacking methodology from reconnaissance and scanning through enumeration, vulnerability analysis, access, privilege escalation, persistence, log clearing, and countermeasures.
Cover wireless, mobile, IoT, OT, cloud, containers, serverless, cryptography, PKI, encryption tools, and cryptanalysis so preparation is not limited to legacy network topics.
Confirm Pearson VUE, remote proctoring, or training-center requirements; review ID rules, voucher status, appointment time, 4-hour pacing, and EC-Council retake policy before exam week.
Use the guide to self-serve, or talk to a coordinator if you need help mapping timelines, official requirements, or troubleshooting day-of logistics.
