The platform

Everything you need to pass

A focused simulator for knowing what to study next, when to retake a domain, and when you are actually ready to book the real exam.

Exam mode that mirrors test pressure

Timed sessions, progress tracking, and exam-sized attempts help you practice the way you will perform on test day.

Domain-level readiness scoring

See weak domains immediately and turn a broad exam goal into a practical, ordered study queue.

Explanations that teach the why

Every answer review explains the correct choice and makes the distractors easier to spot next time.

Server-side scoring

Answers are checked after submission, so your readiness signal stays clean and cannot be gamed.

Guided walkthroughs with real output

Follow step-by-step Docker, Kubernetes, and Linux guides built from commands run in real lab environments.

Free to start

Try any exam with a fixed set of 20 questions, retryable anytime, before upgrading for unlimited practice and full analytics.

Measurable study signals, not study hours

Newly launched in June 2026, CertGrid focuses on the four things that actually predict a pass: readiness, weak domains, review quality, and exam-specific progress.

Instant access Secure checkout No hidden fees Regional pricing
Before booking

Know whether you are pass-ready

Use scaled scoring, timed attempts, and domain breakdowns to decide whether to book, postpone, or drill a specific weak area.

Readiness score + domain trend
After each miss

Turn wrong answers into study notes

Review explanations that clarify the correct answer and the distractors, so your next attempt tests understanding instead of memorization.

Explanation-first review
During revision

Spend time where the exam is exposing gaps

Bookmarks, history, and domain analytics keep the next session focused on the areas that are still dragging down your score.

Guided Labs

Learn the thing, not just the answer

Practice exams show what you missed. Guided Labs show how it works, with real commands, the output you should see, and step-by-step troubleshooting. 790 published guides, including RHCSA, Ansible, Python and the Kubernetes certification paths.

Question quality

How CertGrid questions are reviewed

Original questions, mapped to the current exam blueprint, with an explanation for every answer - reviewed and updated as exams change.

Blueprint mapping

Written to the official exam outline

Every question is authored by our team against the vendor's current skills outline - always original, never copied or scraped from exam content.

Mapped to current objectives
Explanation quality

Every answer explained in depth

Each question explains the reasoning behind the correct answer and ties it back to the underlying concept, so you learn the material instead of memorizing a letter.

Concept-level explanations
Distractor review

Wrong options are reviewed too

Distractors are checked to be plausible but clearly incorrect, and each one carries a note on why it is wrong - so the answers you miss teach as much as the ones you get right.

Why each wrong option is wrong
Regular updates

Reviewed and kept current

Banks are re-reviewed whenever the vendor updates the exam, and every exam page shows the date its questions were last reviewed.

Straight answers before you sign up

An independent practice platform for IT certification exams - here is exactly what it does, who it is for, and what it is not.

What CertGrid is

CertGrid is an independent IT certification practice platform for Azure, AWS, Google, Cisco, Security, Linux, Kubernetes, Terraform, and other certification tracks. It provides objective-mapped practice questions, readiness scoring, weak-domain drills, and explanations to help learners understand what to study next.

Who it is for

Working IT professionals and students preparing for cloud, security, DevOps, and infrastructure certification exams who want to measure their readiness by domain before booking the real test.

What is included

Timed mock exams in the real exam's style, an explanation for every question (why the correct answer is right and why each distractor is wrong), domain-level readiness scoring, weak-domain drills, and progress tracking across attempts.

!What CertGrid is not

CertGrid does not sell or provide real, leaked, or braindump exam questions, is not affiliated with or endorsed by any certification vendor, does not guarantee a passing result, and does not provide live lab servers or interactive lab environments. All questions are original practice items.

How readiness scoring works

After each attempt CertGrid scores you domain by domain against the exam blueprint and blends your recent measured attempts into a single readiness estimate, so you can see which domains are already exam-ready and which still need work.

How the free plan works

The free plan includes a fixed set of 20 practice questions for each exam, with basic explanations. You can retry the same set anytime. Upgrade to unlock the full question bank, timed exam mode, complete explanations, domain analytics, and unlimited practice.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers before you start practicing.

Can I start using CertGrid for free?

Yes. The free plan includes a fixed set of 20 practice questions for each exam, with basic explanations. You can retry the same set anytime. Upgrade to unlock the full question bank, timed exam mode, complete explanations, domain analytics, and unlimited practice.

Are these official certification exam questions?

No. CertGrid is an independent practice platform. We do not provide real or leaked exam questions. Our questions are original and designed to help you practice the concepts, scenarios, and difficulty style of certification exams.

Which certifications are covered?

CertGrid covers 180+ exams across Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, AWS, Google, Cisco, VMware, Kubernetes, Linux, Security, HashiCorp, GitHub, Docker, Nutanix, Citrix, and more.

Do I get explanations after answering?

Yes. Paid plans include full explanations, and the free plan includes partial explanations so you can understand mistakes and improve weak areas.

Are questions updated when vendors change exam objectives?

CertGrid content is reviewed against current exam objectives. When vendors publish meaningful objective changes, affected question banks are refreshed and re-audited.

What is included in the Single Exam Pass?

The Single Exam Pass unlocks one selected exam for 6 months, including unlimited practice for that exam, full explanations, domain trend analytics, and full exam history.

Why do some users see INR and others see USD?

Pricing is shown based on your region. Users in India usually see INR pricing, while users outside India usually see USD pricing.

Are Kubernetes and Linux Foundation exams hands-on?

Some official exams, such as CKA, CKAD, CKS, and LFCS, are hands-on lab exams. CertGrid provides MCQ-style readiness practice for concepts, commands, and troubleshooting decisions, but it is not a live lab simulator.

Are Guided Labs included with practice exam plans?

Guided labs are separate path add-ons. Practice exam plans unlock question banks, timed attempts, explanations, readiness scoring, and analytics. Docker guides remain free.

Are Guided Labs live environments?

No. Guided labs are article-style walkthroughs. Commands are run in real Linux or Kubernetes lab environments, and the guide shows the commands with captured terminal output so learners can follow the solution.
