CIPP/E official mock exam vs. the real exam
Hi everyone,
I’m taking the CIPP/E exam tomorrow. I took both official mock exams (v1.2 and v2.0). On my first try, I finished in about an hour and scored 70/90. After that, I reviewed the domains where I was weaker, and I feel kinda ready now. But I would like to hear from people who took both the official mock exam and the real CIPP/E exam.
I’ve read mixed comments here. Some people say the mock exam was useful, while others say they were not that representative. I’m expecting more scenario-based questions on the real exam, and that it will take longer to complete.
But for those who already took it, how was your experience? Were the questions close to the mock exam? Did you find the real exam harder than expected?
I’ll also share my experience after the exam, maybe it will help other people preparing for it. But my first impression was that I mainly wanted the mock exams to understand how the actual exam system and mechanics work. I was a bit disappointed that the mock exam was only a PDF document, and later I realized it was already available online...
Thanks
