ADP

What the Associate Data Practitioner exam looks like

ADP has 50-60 questions in 120 minutes, multiple choice and multiple select. Every figure on this page is read from the official exam page and linked to it.

How many questions, and how long

Google Cloud states 50-60 questions for ADP, with a time limit of 120 minutes. That is about 2.4 minutes a question, including the time it takes to read the stem and the options.

Google Cloud publishes a range rather than a fixed count, so the pace above assumes the low end of it. At the top of the range you have less time a question.

What the questions look like

Multiple choice and multiple select, in Google's own words. No labs, no console access, and nothing to configure during the exam.

What passes

Google Cloud does not publish a fixed passing score for ADP.

What that score means, and how it is calculated

If you do not pass

A required waiting period applies between attempts, and each attempt counts toward the total permissible attempts. The waiting period does not differ across delivery methods or exam languages. See Google Cloud certification support for the current day counts. A retake costs another $125.

How long it stays valid

Associate Data Practitioner is valid for 3 years from the day you pass. Associate certifications are valid for 3 years. You can renew during the renewal eligibility window that opens before the certification's inactive date. Associate certifications last three years. Renewal requires passing the renewal exam; Google's certification page carries the current renewal fee.
