What is a beta exam?

Autodesk invests in certification exam development to accurately measure skills to industry validated standards. A "beta exam" allows us to test out a broad range of exam questions to determine quality and validity that inform the creation of an official certification exam.

What are the beta exam terms and conditions?

  • Beta certification exam results are typically available within 6 months of completion of the beta exam.
  • Beta exam promotions, price, and policies apply to beta exams only and do not apply to live exams.

What happens if I don't pass?

Participants who do not pass the beta exam cannot retest as part of the beta. Once an official exam is released, candidates can purchase and schedule to take it at any time.

Do I need access to the software to take the exam?

You will not have access to the software during the exam, as all questions are in a selected-response format and are designed to be answered without the software user interface.

 

Below are some of the question formats that may appear on the beta exam.

 

Multiple choice

Multiple choice questions measure knowledge of a specific content topic. A multiple choice item asks a question and provides multiple possible answers.

 

Drag-and-drop

Drag-and-drop questions measure object-association and placement skills. Exam takers select and reposition answer options within a list or graphic.

 

Hot area 

Hot area questions measure your ability by asking you to select “hot” areas of an exhibit. Hot area items are essentially multiple choice items with graphical answer choices.

 

Graphic interpretation

Graphic interpretation questions measure your ability to view a graphic and interpret the information successfully.
