Exam Domains & Weights
The JNCIP-SEC exam covers 8 domains. Juniper publishes the objective areas but does not publish a percentage for each one, so the weights below are our own estimates. Use the practice-question counts as the more concrete guide.
| Domain | Weight | Practice Qs |
|---|---|---|
| Troubleshooting Security Policies & Zones | 15% | 37 |
| Logical Systems & Tenant Systems | 10% | 27 |
| Layer 2 Security | 10% | 26 |
| Advanced NAT | 10% | 36 |
| Advanced IPsec VPNs | 15% | 36 |
| Advanced Policy-Based Routing | 10% | 26 |
| Multinode High Availability | 15% | 32 |
| Automated Threat Mitigation | 15% | 30 |
| Total | 100% | 250 |
💡 Study tip: Troubleshooting Security Policies & Zones is both the heaviest area and the one with the most practice questions, so start there. Advanced NAT and Advanced IPsec VPNs are close behind on question count and are where most people lose marks.
