CDMP Fundamentals
CDMP Passing Score: Associate, Practitioner & Master Targets
DAMA currently lists passing thresholds of 60% for Associate, 70% for Practitioner, and 80% for Master. Your practice target should be higher than the minimum because mock scores naturally vary.
What to know for the CDMP exam
- Associate candidates should build a buffer above 60%.
- Practitioner candidates should target consistent performance above 70%.
- Master candidates need broad, deep performance with an 80% threshold.
The CDMP Data Management Fundamentals exam rewards understanding and judgment, not just memorization. Use official DAMA materials for authoritative exam rules and the body of knowledge, then use independent practice to identify gaps and build speed.
