The 50-702 exam, officially titled Systems and Resource Management, is the qualifying test for the Certified Novell Engineer (CNE) / Novell Open Enterprise Server for NetWare certification from Novell (now part of Micro Focus / OpenText), a credential at the Professional level. Passing it proves you have the skills employers look for in certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as Certified Novell Administrator (CNA), Master Certified Novell Engineer (MCNE).

The Novell Systems and Resource Management exam gives you 90 minutes to work through 70–122 questions. That is a steady pace with little room for second-guessing, so train yourself to read each question once, flag the difficult ones, and keep moving. Before exam day, sit at least two full timed sessions in the Prep4away test engine — when the clock feels familiar, it stops being a threat.

You need 70% to pass, and the official registration fee is $150–$220 USD. Fall short and you pay that fee in full again for every retake, which makes solid preparation the cheaper option by far. Work through the Prep4away practice questions until you score comfortably above the passing mark, then book your seat.

Recommended: CNA certification or equivalent NetWare/OES experience Eligibility rules can change over time, so before you register, confirm the latest requirements on the official exam page: Novell (now part of Micro Focus / OpenText) 50-702 exam overview.
