Common questions about the CIPP/C exam

How close are these questions to the CIPP/C exam?

Close in difficulty: they are written at the level of the CIPP/C 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.

How many CIPP/C practice questions are free?

10 of the 83. The first 5 need no signup; a free account unlocks the rest.

How many questions are on the CIPP/C exam, and how long is it?

90 multiple-choice questions in 150 minutes of testing time: 75 scored and 15 unscored. Some are linked to case studies, and some are multi-select with no partial credit. A 15-minute break is offered at the halfway point, on top of the 150 minutes.

What is the CIPP/C passing score?

300, on a scale of 100 to 500. IAPP converts your raw score to that scale and states that 300 does not represent 60%.

How much does the CIPP/C exam cost?

$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.

Are there any prerequisites for the CIPP/C?

IAPP publishes no education, experience or prior-certification requirement for the CIPP/C. You buy the exam from the IAPP store, then schedule it with Pearson VUE.

Where do I take the CIPP/C, and in what language?

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 needs a new purchase and can be no sooner than 7 days after your last attempt.

How long does the CIPP/C certification last?

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