Common Questions About the NI CLAD Exam
What is the NI Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer Examination exam all about?
The CLAD exam is the official National Instruments (NI) exam behind the Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer certification, validating the skills measured by the NI Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer Examination credential. It sits at the Associate level of the National Instruments (NI) certification program. It also connects to Certified LabVIEW Developer (CLD), Certified LabVIEW Architect (CLA), Certified LabVIEW Embedded Systems Developer (CLED), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the CLAD exam, and how much time do I get?
The CLAD exam contains 40-46 questions to be completed within 60 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.
What score do I need to pass the CLAD exam, and what does it cost?
The passing score for the CLAD exam is 70%, and the official registration fee is $199 USD. Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 134 practice questions on Getcertkey, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.
Are there any prerequisites for the CLAD exam?
