Published-exam validation — September 17, 2026

Checked all 223 published guides across 26 vendors against the public official sources that were accessible. This extends the catalog review to individual exams and credential paths. 22 guides received bounded corrections, and one Salesforce seed URL was repaired.

This is a dated public-source check, not a claim that all guide content is validated. Exact extraction matches, weighted-scope comparisons, public delivery facts, and remaining access gaps are reported separately. A page returning HTTP 200 was not sufficient: browser rendering recovered shell pages, and downloaded PDFs were read as PDFs.

Coverage and method

Check Result
Published guides included 223
Initial monitor: unchanged objective and status hashes 116
Initial monitor: objective and/or status differences 66
Initial monitor: documented manual extraction limitations 38
Initial monitor: transport failures, later recovered in browser 2
Retired guide kept separate 1
Manual/failed monitor sources recovered using public PDF, HTML or unsigned browser 37 of 40
Detailed MongoDB study guides still access-gated 3

Of the 182 completed automated comparisons, 128 objective extractions match and 54 differ. Twelve of the 66 combined alerts concern only status. Fourteen alerts include a previously absent status baseline. These are overlapping diagnostic counts, not 66 proven blueprint changes.

The fallbacks cover 17 Palo Alto Networks datasheets (including the Apprentice PDF linked from its page), 10 Splunk PDFs, five Python/JavaScript syllabi, three Salesforce Help blueprints, and two ServiceNow blueprints. Their scope checks compare published domains and weights and inspect the available tasks and exam contract. The Salesforce and ServiceNow browser recovery does not change their HTTP monitor limitations.

All 223 entries have a public identity, exam/credential overview, program announcement, or retirement source inspected. That includes MongoDB's public exam contract even though its detailed scope is gated. Fortinet MSSP is still only announced: its canonical page supplies no exam blueprint or registration contract. Retired SOL-C01 was verified against its transition FAQ, not treated as an active exam.

The machine-readable record is ADLC_Docs/operations/2026-09-17-exam-validation.json. It records each guide, before/after guide hashes, comparison hashes, source URLs, retrieval method, findings, and limits. Trusted objective snapshots and historical full-review/AI-audit dates were preserved. Monitor candidates were written to a temporary snapshot copy, so comparison output did not silently replace an accepted baseline.

Corrections applied

Guides Correction
ServiceNow CAD Current official weights are 20/20/20/20/10/10. Corrected the first/last domains from 15/15, reconciled the practice-bank discrepancy, and removed the stale access-gap claim. The full public blueprint confirms 60 questions, 90 minutes and a 90-day registration window; the cut score remains undisclosed.
AB-100, AB-900, SC-401 Added upcoming-revision notices and catalog flags. AB-100/AB-900 say October 14. SC-401 dates conflict as described below.
CLF-C02, AIF-C01, SOA-C03, DOP-C02 Added language-specific delivery retirements: CLF Italian/German after December 31; AIF Italian/German after October 15; SOA Simplified Chinese/Korean after November 19; DOP Korean after December 31, all in 2026. The whole credential is not marked retired.
SAP-C02, DVA-C02 Added replacement/retirement notices and the official date discrepancies below.
10 Fortinet guides Replaced obsolete exam-time ranges with current published durations; added Japanese for NSE 7 Secure Networking and FortiAppSec product baseline 26.2.
NSE 7 Cloud Security Removed an obsolete prerequisite-conflict warning: the current track requires NSE 4 and either NSE 5 or NSE 6 Cloud Security.
CKS Updated the vendor's separate simulator listing to 20–25 questions; this is not a live-exam item count.
Salesforce catalog seed Replaced the 404 /credentials/platformdeveloper URL with /credentials/platformdeveloperi; the Help blueprint remains authoritative.

Fortinet exam times now shown in the guides:

Guide / option Minutes
NSE 4 FortiOS 100
NSE 5 Secure Networking / FortiSwitch 70
NSE 5 SASE / current 26 form 65
NSE 5 Cloud Security / FortiAppSec Cloud 65
NSE 6 Secure Networking / FortiNAC 60
NSE 6 SASE / FortiClient EMS, FortiEDR, FortiDLP 65 / 70 / 65
NSE 6 Cloud Security / FortiCNAPP, FortiDDoS 75 / 60
NSE 6 Security Operations / FortiNDR Cloud, FortiSOAR 65 / 75
NSE 7 SASE 75
NSE 7 Secure Networking 75

Sources are the individual exam and track URLs in the per-guide evidence record and existing guides. For example, the FortiOS exam page now lists 100 minutes. Multi-option track pages were followed to individual exams; a course runtime was not substituted for an exam time.

Conflicts and remaining work

  • SC-401: the study guide and change log say October 28, 2026; the credential overview says October 14. The revised label objective separates containers from Power BI items. We retained the conflict rather than selecting an unsupported date.
  • SAP-C02 and DVA-C02: the September AWS announcement says November 16 and November 30 are the respective last test dates. Direct live checks of the SAP page and DVA page instead said November 17 and December 1. Both replacements open registration October 27; their complete replacement blueprints are announced for that date. Confirm the deadline with the vendor/scheduler.
  • DP-420 and PL-400/AB-400: substantial future blueprint changes remain guide-production work. The existing notices identify October 6 and October 16 transitions. They do not mean those revised guides have been written.
  • MongoDB: Developer, Data Modeler and Atlas Administrator public pages confirm 53/75, 75/110 and 70/95 questions/minutes respectively, online proctoring and no formal prerequisite. The linked detailed guides require enrollment or email submission; full scope remains unverified in this pass.
  • Fortinet: MSSP has no published exam blueprint. Several option exams remain Coming Soon. NSE 8's required electives remain future releases, so the new core-plus-elective path cannot yet be completed. Public partial descriptions were not treated as delivered exams.
  • Vendor inconsistencies: CPP-22-02 still has weights totaling 107%; PCET/PCAT introductory version text disagrees with their headers. These are recorded, not repaired by inventing vendor facts.
  • Comparison limits: older paraphrased snapshots differ from current extraction formatting. Some composite Fortinet snapshots cover more than the canonical page, and the NSE 5 SASE adapter currently reads the first, retiring form. Python syllabus extraction omits summary weight tables that were checked separately. The per-exam record preserves these distinctions; semantic reconciliation of every line and any future monitor changes remain separate work.

No private eligibility, appointment inventory, payment flow, paid/enrolled course content, or lab was exercised. No fresh practitioner review or independent technical audit is claimed. Public prerequisites were distinguished from recommended preparation and from the separate requirements to earn a multi-exam credential.

Per-exam results

“Extraction matches” is a monitor comparison. “Difference triaged” means the change was inspected and classified at the public-scope/contract level, not that every guide paragraph was revalidated. “Public fallback reviewed” covers weighted scope recovered outside the HTML monitor. Follow the linked official source and the machine record for evidence.
