Certified Information Privacy Professional/Asia (CIPP/A) practice exam and questions

Close in difficulty: they are written at the level of the CIPP/A exam and to its official topics, so you are not practising on questions easier or harder than the ones you will sit. They are not questions taken from the exam, and each one comes with an explanation.

10 of the 98. The first 5 need no signup; a free account unlocks the rest.

90 questions in 150 minutes of testing time: 75 scored and 15 unscored. Some are scenario-based, and some are multi-select with no partial credit. The exam is split into two halves with an optional 15-minute break between them, and you cannot go back once the first half is submitted.

300, on a scale of 100 to 500. IAPP converts your number of correct answers to that scale and states that 300 does not represent 60%. There is no minimum score per section.

$550, the same for IAPP members and non-members. A retake costs $375, as does a first attempt if you already hold another IAPP certification.

IAPP publishes no education, experience or prior-certification requirement for the CIPP/A. The documented process starts with buying the exam.

IAPP publishes a range per topic, not a percentage. Under Examination Blueprint v2.0.0, effective 14 July 2025: privacy fundamentals 6–12 questions, Singapore privacy laws and practices 14–25, Hong Kong privacy laws and practices 14–25, India privacy law and practices 14–25, and common themes 6–10.

At a Pearson VUE test centre or online through Pearson VUE OnVUE, in English only. You buy the exam from the IAPP store and must sit it within one year of buying it. A retake can be no sooner than 7 days after your last attempt.

Two years. To renew, you log 20 CPE hours per two-year term, or retest, and either pay the maintenance fee or hold an active IAPP membership.
