Preparation for Taking DGS Exam
There are various ways of learning the process of taking the DGS exam. The DGS is included in the following training and study guides.
- Refer to the exam subject outlines (at level 1 & 2) posted on http://www.iccp.org/certification/exams/outlines to become familiar with the subject coverage of the exam
- Contact the ICCP http://www.iccp.org/certification/training/selfstudy) for the CDMP Exam Study Guide which covers all the exams in the CDMP program and has sample exams/questions for self-study
- Check the ICCP website athttp://www.iccp.org/certification/training/online for scheduled online CDMP exam reviews and other online training that includes the DGS exam.
The DGS exam is also offered at the DAMA International Symposiums and periodically at some DAMA chapter meetings.
Taking DGS Exam
ICCP Testing can be done anywhere in the world, with an approved ICCP Proctor to verify physical identity and supervise/invigilate the delivery of the examination. Contact the ICCP office for further information (www.iccp.org/contact). A webcam, microphone and government issued ID are required.
A DAMA chapter can set up exam sessions during their chapter meetings. What is needed is a volunteer proctor from the chapter. A proctor is an individual authorized by ICCP to oversee the writing of an exam by an ICCP exam taker. This person must meet specific guidelines ( http://www.iccp.org/certification/exams/administration) and be willing to supervise the exam taker. The ICCP reserves the right to reject proposed proctors. Contact ICCP (www.iccp.org/contact) or phone 847.299.4227 or 800.843.8227 if you require assistance in determining an appropriate proctor. Taking exams via the Internet is also available.
The exams run off the USB drive of an individual’s laptop. There are 110 questions with 100 being scored and reported to the exam taker and 10 are beta questions to complete in 90 minutes. You will not know which type of question you are answering. Questions and possible distracters (answers) are randomly listed in a different order for each exam taker. Therefore, although this guide contains sample questions that allow for “all or none of the above” type answers meant for study purposes, you will not find this type of answer to choose from on the actual exam.
Computer based testing allows for the immediate scoring after the exam is taken. An ICCP Performance Profile is then available for downloading, and one will be sent later to the individual by the ICCP. This Profile shows your exam strengths and weaknesses.
Data Governance Professional Fees (this information current as of Nov 2011)
