The DAMA Reference And Master Data Management exam is the official DAMA International test registered under exam code CDMP-RMD. Passing it earns you the Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) certification, a credential at the Professional level. It is also linked to the related certifications: CDMP Data Management Fundamentals, CDMP Data Governance, CDMP Data Quality, CDMP Data Modeling & Design. DAMA International exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.

The DAMA Reference And Master Data Management exam includes 100 questions to be completed within 90 minutes. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.

To pass the DAMA Reference And Master Data Management exam you need 60% (typical, may vary by exam version), and the official registration fee is USD 300–350 (varies by region and testing provider). A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full USD 300–350 (varies by region and testing provider) again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.

No strict prerequisites; CDMP Fundamentals recommended before attempting specialty exams

Eligibility rules do change from time to time, so confirm the current requirements before you register on the official exam page.
