Common questions about the CDMP DQ exam

How long is the CDMP Data Quality exam and how many questions does it have?

100 multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes. If English is not your first language you can take the ESL version, which gives 110 minutes and allows browser translation and dictionaries. The exam is in English only.

What score do you need on the CDMP Data Quality exam?

70% counts toward CDMP Practitioner and 80% toward CDMP Master. Either level needs any two specialist exams plus Data Management Fundamentals, each passed at that mark. A specialist pass on its own earns a badge, not a certificate.

How much does the CDMP Data Quality exam cost?

US$311 per exam, which is US$300 plus a US$11 online proctor fee. A retake costs US$200 plus the proctor fee, and you can retake as often as you like; the highest mark is kept. Purchases are non-refundable, and you have 12 months from enrolment to sit the exam.

What topics does the CDMP Data Quality exam cover?

DAMA publishes no topic list or weights for the specialist exams. Its FAQ says only that they "draw on the whole DMBoK", so you need to consider how data quality relates to the rest of data management.

Is the CDMP Data Quality exam open book?

Yes, with one "book" allowed. Online exams are proctored by Honorlock in Google Chrome on a computer, with no booking needed. Exams at DAMA chapter and DAMA International events may use human proctors.

Are there official practice exams for CDMP Data Quality?

No. DAMA says "There are currently no practice exams for the specialist exams." Each purchase includes a free 40-question practice exam for Data Management Fundamentals.

How long does a CDMP Data Quality pass count?

A pass counts toward Practitioner or Master for 3 years from the date its badge is issued. Once certified, CDMP is valid for 3 years, then renewed each year with a maintenance fee, an activity attestation and the Code of Ethics.
