Plan on needing 70% to pass the DQ-1220 exam, and budget $311 USD (member), $411 USD (non-member) for the official registration. Treat that fee as single-use: a failed attempt means paying the same amount again for a retake. The cheapest insurance policy is preparation — cycle through the 123 practice questions at Pass4cram until your timed mock results clear the passing mark consistently, and only then schedule your exam.

For the DAMA Data Quality, DAMA points candidates toward these resources:

• DAMA DMBOK Guide
• Official CDMP Study Resources

Training builds the foundation; deliberate practice builds the pass. Layer the 123 practice questions from Pass4cram on top of any course above, and you cover theory and execution in one plan.

The DAMA Data Quality blueprint spans 5 domains. The heaviest hitters include Data Quality Improvement (20%), Data Quality Strategy and Governance (20%), and Data Quality Concepts and Principles (15%). The complete breakdown — every domain and subtopic — is laid out in the syllabus section above, and that is the map your study sessions should follow.

Expect 70-100 questions and 90 minutes on the clock for the DQ-1220 exam. Time management is a skill of its own here: candidates who untimed-study often discover the real pressure only when the countdown starts. Build that muscle memory early — run full timed simulations in the Pass4cram desktop or online test engine, practice flagging and skipping, and let pacing become reflex before exam day.

If you sit the DQ-1220 exam within 60 days of purchase and the result is a fail, the Pass4cram money back guarantee has you covered: file within 2 days of the exam with a scan of your enrollment slip and the official score report (PDF), and the claim is processed within 7 days.

Formally known as the Data Quality, the DQ-1220 exam is DAMA's way of certifying that you can apply its technologies to real-world problems — pass it, and you hold the CDMP Specialist - Data Quality certification, a Specialist-level credential. Because it is vendor-backed and skills-driven, employers treat it as proof rather than promise. It also feeds into a wider path that includes CDMP Associate, CDMP Master, CDMP Fellow, DG-1220 Data Governance, DMF-1220 Data Management Fundamentals.
