Exam-day tips

  • Wireless was removed from ENCOR in March 2026; do not use ENCOR materials for WLCOR.
  • Operation and client connectivity together are 40% of WLCOR; lab the 9800 configuration model (profiles and tags).
  • Know RF math (dBm, mW, EIRP, free space path loss) quickly.
  • Check Cisco's exam pages for current pricing; WLSD and WLSI are listed at $400 and 120 minutes, unlike most 300-level exams.
