Open now. Nothing is published for Cloud Digital Leader yet. The bank is being written from the official objectives.
Opens next. The first practice exam opens at 50 verified questions, spread across all 6 domains.
Every question here is verified against vendor documentation before it serves, which is why the count grows slowly.
Where to focus: Weightings are almost flat, so breadth beats depth here. The one place to spend less time is scaling with Google Cloud operations at about 10%, and the one place a business audience usually loses marks is picking between BigQuery, Spanner, Cloud SQL and Bigtable for a described workload.

What the exam actually asks you to do
Multiple choice only. No multiple select, no labs, no console access, and nothing to configure during the exam.
- Multiple choice
Nothing here needs a lab. Reading carefully and eliminating options is the whole skill. Google Cloud, Cloud Digital Leader exam details ↗
Cloud Digital Leader practice exams
No complete practice exam yet. A form is 50 questions apportioned to the official weightings, and a partial one would report a score that means nothing, so none is assembled until the questions are there.

Where Cloud Digital Leader fits
An honest study plan
1. Read the official objectives first
Download the official objectives from Google Cloud and skim every line. The exam can only test what’s listed there, it’s the contract.
2. Weight your study toward Digital Transformation with Google Cloud and Exploring Data Transformation with Google Cloud
Together the top two domains are 36% of the exam. Practice them until your accuracy is consistently above 80%.
3. Drill weak domains, then sit a numbered practice exam
Use Domain Drill on your weakest areas, then sit a full-length form under exam conditions: 50 questions in 90 minutes, scored against the published pass mark. Book the real exam when you are consistently clearing that, not before.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Cloud Digital Leader exam cost and how long is it?
$99 plus tax, 90 minutes, 50 to 60 multiple choice questions. There are no prerequisites and no hands-on Google Cloud experience is assumed. Google recommends experience working alongside technical people.
Which version of the exam will you sit?
Google is replacing the exam guide. If you trained before June 8 you use the previous guide, which Google says is available through August 11. If you trained on or after June 8 you use the new guide, and registration for it opens on August 12. The questions on this page follow the new guide.
What score do you need to pass?
Google does not publish one for any of its certification exams. Your result comes back as pass or fail, not as a number, so treat any specific percentage you read elsewhere as invented.
Is Cloud Digital Leader technical?
Not in the hands-on sense. You are asked which Google Cloud product fits a business situation and why, not to configure anything. If you want the console work, Associate Cloud Engineer is the next step.
How is the exam weighted?
Five of the six sections carry about 18% each and scaling with Google Cloud operations carries about 10%. There is no section small enough to skip, so spread your study rather than going deep on one product area.

Nothing is published for this exam yet. Join the waitlist and we will tell you when the first questions ship, and nothing else.
Cloud Digital Leader is not for sale yet. A certification goes on sale when it has a complete practice exam behind it, and this one does not, so there is nothing here worth charging for. Everything published is free to answer in the meantime.
