The Novell 050-653 exam, officially titled Certified Novell Administrator 5.1, is the required test for earning the Certified Novell Administrator (CNA) 5.1 certification, a credential at the Associate level. Passing it validates the skills Novell expects from certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as Certified Novell Engineer (CNE), Novell NetWare Administrator certifications.

The 050-653 exam includes 60-70 questions, and you have 90 minutes to complete it. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count so you know the pace you need to hold, and practice flagging time-consuming items for review instead of stalling on a single question. Timed sessions in the PrepAwayTest test engine are the easiest way to build that rhythm before it counts.
