Exam Scoring and Results

Databricks passing scores are set through statistical analysis and are subject to change as exams are updated with new questions. Because they can change, we do not publish them.

Exam Content

Moving forward there will only ever be one version of each exam. The exam guide for each exam lists the current topic areas and objectives covered in the exam. The exam guide is the source of truth for what is on a currently live exam. We recommend having the exam guide available as you go through any related training so you can determine what, if anything, you need to learn more about. You can find the exam guide on the related certification web page.

Deprecated Exams

The Professional Data Scientist and the Azure Databricks Associate Platform exams were deprecated on August 22, 2022, because the content of the exams was outdated.
