KCNA question bank coverage by exam domain
Last updated
The GoldenKube KCNA bank follows the official exam weights closely: every domain sits within a few points of its published weight, every question has a written explanation, and nothing is parked in a mixed set. The table below shows the live counts per domain, so you can see exactly where the practice material is.
| Official domain | Weight | Questions | Share | Gap (pts) | Explained | Topic pages |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kubernetes Fundamentals | 44% | 123 | 43% | −1.3 | 123 | 1 |
| Container Orchestration | 28% | 86 | 30% | +1.9 | 86 | 1 |
| Cloud Native Application Delivery | 16% | 46 | 16% | 0.0 | 46 | 1 |
| Cloud Native Architecture | 12% | 33 | 11% | −0.5 | 33 | 1 |
| Whole bank | 100% | 288 | 100% | — | 288 | 4 |

What the table measures
Each row is one official KCNA exam domain, in the order and with the weight the Linux Foundation publishes. The question count is read from the GoldenKube KCNA bank when the page is served, so it always matches what you can practise today. Share is that count divided by the whole bank, and the gap column is the share minus the official weight, in percentage points: a positive gap means the bank has more questions on that domain than the exam weight alone would suggest, a negative gap means fewer. Explained counts the questions that come with a written explanation, and topic pages counts the public topic pages built from that domain.
Some bank sets use their own domain names; those are mapped to the official domain they cover. Mixed practice sets that span several domains are not forced into one row and are listed separately, which is why the official rows can add up to less than the whole bank.
The weights describe the exam, not this bank. A gap is not an error in the exam or in your preparation, it only tells you where practising here gives you more or less material than the exam is likely to ask about.
Where the KCNA bank leans
No KCNA domain clears the gap threshold in either direction. Kubernetes Fundamentals is the largest block of the bank, as it is the largest block of the exam, and Container Orchestration comes second in both. Cloud Native Application Delivery and Cloud Native Architecture are the smaller domains on the exam and they are the smaller domains here too. That makes the bank a fair stand-in for the exam mix: if you practise in the order GoldenKube serves questions, the proportion of what you see will be close to the proportion you can expect on test day.
Each KCNA domain is one subdomain in the bank, so the domain row and its topic page cover the same material. Topic pages are only published once a domain has enough explained questions and a written explainer, so the topic-page column shows which domains already have one.
How to use this when you practise KCNA
Because the KCNA bank mirrors the weights, you do not need to rebalance anything by hand. Let the scheduler pick: it serves due reviews first and then new questions from your weakest domain, which on a balanced bank also tracks the exam weights. Spend extra time on Kubernetes Fundamentals and Container Orchestration only if your own results there are weak, not because the bank is short on them. When the dashboard shows a domain mastered, the sample questions and the exam guide are the next stop before you book.
