Frequently Asked Questions
What pre-work is required for the DASM exam?

- Review Choose Your WoW’s key areas that address learning objectives
- Take notes during the training workshop and review the workbook
- Organize a virtual study group to confirm understanding of processes, application, and concepts addressed in training

The DASM exam is administered through Pearson VUE. The exam is an online, non-proctored test including 50 multiple-choice questions. The total exam appointment is 120 minutes—30 minutes for the introduction, tutorial, and survey and up to 90 minutes for completing the exam.
How long does the student have from the training workshop to take the DASM exam?
