The 71801X exam is the official Avaya exam behind Avaya Messaging Support Certified — passing it earns you the Avaya Messaging Support Certified (ACSS - 7180) certification, a credential positioned at the Specialist level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by Avaya Messaging Support Certified. Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the Avaya Certified Support Specialist (ACSS) certification, so one pass can move you toward more than one Avaya credential.

The 71801X exam presents 60–61 questions to be completed within 90 minutes. That pace leaves little room for second-guessing: read each question carefully on the first pass, flag the ones you want to revisit, and keep moving instead of stalling on a single item. Before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the ITExamDownload desktop or online test engine with a comparable question load — a steady rhythm under the clock is a trainable skill, and it is often what separates a pass from a near miss.

To pass the 71801X exam you need 67% (approx. 41/61 or 700/1000), and the official registration fee is $125 USD. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed ITExamDownload practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.

Recommended: 6+ months hands-on experience with Avaya messaging systems; no mandatory prerequisite exam Because Avaya revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word. Confirm the current eligibility requirements on the official Avaya exam page before you register.
