The number stayed the same and almost everything behind it changed. Six sections became five, signalling halved, and gateway work now carries 30 percent of the paper on its own.

In a traditional network you configure a port. In ACI the port learns what to do from the policy attached to an endpoint group, and every hard question on this exam follows from that inversion.
The exam number stayed the same and almost everything behind it changed. 350-901 now carries AUTOCOR version 2.0, the core of Cisco’s Automation track, with Ansible and Terraform alongside RESTCONF and Python, a full Infrastructure as Code domain built on GitLab pipelines, and a fifth of the paper devoted to building AI tooling rather than describing it.
Most blueprints describe capabilities and leave the tooling to you. Cisco does the opposite on 300-215, naming hex editors, disassemblers, deobfuscation utilities and memory forensics tools inside the objectives themselves. That specificity changes how the exam should be studied.
SPCOR is not merely half a CCNP. Pass 350-501 and Cisco awards the Service Provider Core specialist certification immediately, valid for three years. Here is how the five domains are weighted, why networking decides the outcome, and how much segment routing the paper really carries.
All five 400-007 domains have the word design in the title, and 45 percent of the marks sit outside pure network engineering. What a variable cut score means for how you study.
