eJPT Practice Test

The eJPT Practice Test is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests the knowledge behind the INE Security eJPT (eLearnSecurity Junior Penetration Tester) certification — assessment methodology and information gathering, host and network auditing, host and network penetration testing concepts, and web application testing — written to the eJPT exam objectives, NIST SP 800-115, the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide, the Penetration Testing Execution Standard and MITRE ATT&CK for 2026. It covers concepts, methodology and defences only, for authorised testing. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable eJPT Readiness certificate (SOA-EX). Every question is based on published standards and research — including SP 800-115: Technical guide to information security testing (NIST), MITRE ATT&CK (MITRE), Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: SP 800-115: Technical guide to information security testing (NIST); MITRE ATT&CK (MITRE); Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES); Common Vulnerability Scoring System (FIRST); Nmap Reference Guide (Nmap Project); Service name and port number registry (IANA). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Assessment Methodology and Information Gathering (Planning and scope, Passive reconnaissance and Scanning and enumeration); Host and Network Auditing (Vulnerability assessment, Traffic analysis and Credentials and configuration); Host and Network Penetration Testing (Exploitation concepts, Post-exploitation and Pivoting and defence); Web Application Testing (Web reconnaissance, Common vulnerabilities and Reporting). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.
