The SCP-NPM exam, officially titled SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) Exam, is the SolarWinds exam you pass to earn the SolarWinds Certified Professional (SCP) certification, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as SolarWinds Certified Professional (SCP) - Server & Application Monitor, SolarWinds Certified Professional (SCP) - Network Configuration Manager.

The SCP-NPM exam includes 75-77 questions and gives you 90 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the Fast2test desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the SCP-NPM exam is 70%, and the official registration fee is $200 USD. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying $200 USD again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on Fast2test practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.
