SailPoint Certification Proctored Exam Format

What is the SailPoint Certified proctored exam format?

Discrete Option Multiple Choice (DOMC) question format

All SailPoint certification exams use the Discrete Option Multiple Choice (DOMC) question format, a unique system for multiple choice testing.

Instead of showing all the answer options at once, a series of options are randomly presented one at a time. For each option, the test taker chooses YES or NO, indicating whether he or she thinks the option is correct. To get the full question right, the candidate must correctly identify which options in the series are correct and which are incorrect.

The exam will automatically end once you have answered enough questions correctly or incorrectly. Once you reach the threshold of correct or incorrect number of questions answered, you will automatically receive a pass or fail result.

DOMC questions provide a very different test experience. There is no “undo” or “back” or "skip question" capability, nor is there the ability to review questions at the end or to change answers. Therefore it is important to carefully consider the question in front of you before clicking.

We strongly recommend that you try examples of a DOMC test to familiarize yourself with the format in advance.

SailPoint Exam Duration Policy:

All SailPoint exams will automatically end once the test-taker has answered enough questions correctly or incorrectly, meaning all exam questions may not be presented. Therefore, you might complete your exam in less than the maximum exam time. Please note that you cannot go back and change your answers once you submit a question. You will not be able to flag questions for further review.
