Certification FAQs
Find answers to common questions about exam format, exam scoring, recertification, and more.
Our Pearson VUE-hosted certification exams are selected response. You will not have access to the software to help you with your answers. Exams feature several different types of questions:
- Multiple-choice questions measure knowledge of a specific topic. A multiple-choice item asks a question and provides multiple possible answers.
- Drag-and-drop questions measure object-association and placement skills. Exam takers select and reposition answer options within a list or graphic.
- Active-screen questions measure familiarity with the software UI by using interactive images of the software.
- Hot-area questions measure your ability by asking you to select “hot” areas of an exhibit. Hot-area items are essentially multiple-choice items with graphical answer choices.
- Graphic-interpretation questions measure your ability to view a graphic and interpret the information successfully.
Autodesk and our testing provider, Pearson VUE, are committed to ensuring testing access for all individuals. Requests for test accommodations are considered on a case-by-case basis and are included in our application process. To request testing accommodation, indicate the type (for example: extra time, exam reader) and a brief description. Our certification program team will respond in most cases within two business days, and you will receive an email notification with the decision on your request.
If you are approved for accommodations, we will pass the approval to our testing provider, Pearson VUE. When you schedule your exam test appointment, the accommodations will be automatically approved.

Your exam is scored with a pass or fail result. Passing scores vary by certification exam, and we do not disclose the passing score to candidates before they take the exam.
To recertify for an Autodesk certification, you must:
- Submit a new certification application within the six month period prior to the certification expiration date
- Schedule, purchase, and take the certification exam before the expiration date
- Achieve a passing score
Once you have passed the exam, the expiration date on the certification will be appended and extended through a new expiration term.
There is no grace period for expired certification credentials. To pursue certification after your existing certification has expired, you must submit a new application, purchase and take the related certification exam, and achieve a passing result. The issuance date on this new certification will be effective the date of the passed exam.
