- How many questions are on the CompTIA Data+ exam?
- The CompTIA Data+ DA0-002 exam has a maximum of 90 questions and a 90 minute time limit. You will see a mix of multiple choice and performance based questions, where performance based items ask you to interpret a chart, clean a data set or work through an analysis scenario rather than pick a single answer. If your notes are on paper, run them through an OCR tool like DocuOCR first so the text is selectable before you upload.
- What is the passing score for CompTIA Data+?
- You need 675 on a scale of 100 to 900 to pass the CompTIA Data+ DA0-002 exam. CompTIA uses scaled scoring, so the raw number of questions you answer correctly is weighted by difficulty rather than counted as a flat percentage. There is no separate pass mark per domain; the single scaled score decides the result, so a strong showing in your best areas can offset a weaker domain.
- What does the CompTIA Data+ exam cover?
- The DA0-002 exam covers five domains: Data Concepts and Environments at about 20 percent, Data Acquisition and Preparation at about 22 percent, Data Analysis at about 24 percent, Visualization and Reporting at about 20 percent, and Data Governance at about 14 percent. Data Analysis is the single heaviest domain, and acquisition, preparation and cleaning of data make up another large share, so the exam rewards hands on skill with real data, not just definitions.
- Is DA0-001 or DA0-002 the current Data+ exam?
- DA0-002 is the current CompTIA Data+ exam. It launched on October 14, 2025, and the English version of the older DA0-001 retired on April 14, 2026, so new candidates now sit DA0-002. When you build practice sets, make sure your study material maps to the DA0-002 objectives, since the newer version updated the domain structure and weighting. Always confirm the live objectives on the CompTIA website before you book.
- Are there prerequisites for CompTIA Data+?
- There are no formal prerequisites for CompTIA Data+, so anyone can register and sit the exam. CompTIA recommends about 18 to 24 months of experience in a data or reporting role, or equivalent knowledge, because the exam assumes you can work with real data sets rather than only recite theory. It suits analysts, reporting specialists and business staff who work with data and want a vendor neutral credential to prove it.
- How long should I study for CompTIA Data+?
- Most candidates prepare over about 6 to 10 weeks, studying several hours a week, though it depends on how much day to day data work you already do. People from a reporting or spreadsheet background usually need longer on the statistics and data governance topics, which are easy to underestimate. A practical approach is to study one domain, generate practice questions from those exact notes, then move on, so recall is tested while the material is fresh.
- Is this an official CompTIA Data+ practice test?
- No. PDFQuiz is an independent study tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by CompTIA. This tool generates practice questions from the study material you upload so you can rehearse recall across all five Data+ domains, and it does not reproduce real DA0-002 exam questions. Use it alongside the official CompTIA objectives, your course and CertMaster, not as a replacement for the official preparation materials.
