I am not going to go into the details and facts that are already available elsewhere on the Internet. (If you are reading a piece on CEH, you likely know how to perform an online search.) This is the format of the CEH exam: it is a multiple choice questions exam, consists of 125 questions, and lasts 4 hours or less. You can read about the other details here.

The second question that you probably have on your mind is: What did I like and not like about the course? It really is hard to say what I did not like about the course. The reason being that what I ?didnt like about the course was that it focused mainly on theory, and was limited in practically learning ?how to hack.
