The Qlik Talend Certification Program requires candidates to accept the Qlik Education Terms and Conditions before taking an exam to ensure the integrity of the exams and Qlik Talend Certification Program. This agreement as set forth by Qlik includes cooperating with any investigation into testing irregularities and testing misconduct. Any fraudulent activities recorded can be immediate grounds to disqualify a candidate from passing an exam and prohibit a candidate from taking any other Qlik certification exams. In addition, Qlik reserves the right to pursue any and all remedies in law or equity for any breach of these Exam rules.
11. Why do the passing scores vary?
The passing scores are determined after conducting a statistical analysis with Subject Matter Experts and reviewing the results of the beta exam. Each exam has a different domain, and the variability of the question difficulty results in different minimum passing scores.
