Frequently asked questions

How much does the Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin exam cost?

Splunk lists the exam at $130 USD per exam attempt and delivers it through its testing partner Pearson VUE, at a test centre or with an online proctor. A retake costs the same $130 again.

How long is the exam and how many questions does it have?

Splunk publishes 56 multiple choice questions in 60 minutes. Splunk notes on the test blueprint that the 60 minutes include three minutes to review the exam agreement, so the working time is 57.

What is the passing score?

Splunk publishes no passing score for this exam, and no exam code either. It states the question count, the time limit and the section weightings on its test blueprint and stops there, so any percentage you see quoted elsewhere is somebody's estimate rather than Splunk's number.

What do I need before I can sit it?

Splunk lists the prerequisite as: Splunk Core Certified Power User.
