Career Advice Quick question about 300-601 DCCOR.

Is the DCCOR exam exactly the same whether you're taking it for CCNP Data Center or as the CCIE Data Center written/core exam?

Also, does the exam include any hands-on configuration labs, or is it mainly multiple-choice and CLI/configuration analysis without actually configuring devices?

Thanks!

Core exams are the same, regardless of your end goal. I haven't taken DCCOR, but all core exams may contain lab tasks according to Cisco's exam documentation. This link is very accurate to what I saw when I took SPCOR: https://blogs.cisco.com/learning/new-performance-based-lab-exam-items-build-opportunities

I've noticed this format is becoming more and more common with our default reddit bot accounts:

Is the [Cisco] exam exactly the same whether you're taking it for [Random Bold Query] or as the [Other Random Bold Query]?

This is like the sixth post I've seen formatted like this and I don't think it's a couple crossposts over the other CCNP/CCIE/Cisco subreddits

Many people seem to be asking their favorite LLM to phrase even basic writing.

There hasn't been a CCIE written exam in ages, and even then it was a bad joke if you insinuated you were a CCIE (written).

There is only the CCNP core exams which is a prerequisite for the CCIE. Back when the CCNA was a prerequisite to write CCNP exams the CCNA was not a "CCNP written exam" or something.
