Working through the learning plans associated with your desired certification is highly recommended. These are expert-level exams and experience with the product is needed.

If there is no subscription, visit Qlik Learning subscription to request options. Your inquiry will be routed to the right person.
8. How are certification exam scores calculated?
Exam scores are based on the total number of correctly answered questions. A passing score is awarded if this total meets or exceeds the exam's required passing score. For questions that require multiple answers, you must select exactly the number of answers specified; otherwise, no credit will be awarded. Partial credit is not given. It is in your best interest to try answering every question, even if it is an educated guess. Visit Get Started with Qlik Certification to view the passing score needed for each exam.
9. Do I need to accept the Exam Access and Use Agreement before I take an exam?
The Qlik Certification Program requires candidates to accept the Certification Terms and Conditions before taking an exam to ensure the integrity of the exams and Qlik Certification Program. This agreement, as set forth by Qlik and Kryterion, Inc., includes cooperating with any investigation into testing irregularities and testing misconduct. Any fraudulent activities recorded can be immediate grounds to disqualify a candidate from passing an exam and prohibit a candidate from taking any other Qlik Talend certification exams. In addition, Qlik reserves the right to pursue all remedies in law or equity for any breach of these exam rules.
10. Why do the passing scores vary for Qlik Data Analytics exams?
The passing scores are determined after conducting a statistical analysis with Subject Matter Experts and reviewing the beta exam results. Each exam has a different domain, and the variability of the question difficulty results in different minimum passing scores.
