EMC Dell PowerScale Maintenance Exam FAQ: What Candidates Ask Most
What is the EMC D-PSC-MN-01 exam?
The D-PSC-MN-01 exam is the official Dell EMC exam behind the Dell Storage certification, validating the skills measured by the EMC Dell PowerScale Maintenance credential. It sits at the Professional level of the Dell EMC certification program. It also connects to Dell PowerScale Maintenance, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the D-PSC-MN-01 exam, and how much time do I get?
The D-PSC-MN-01 exam contains 48-60 questions to be completed within 90 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 D-PSC-MN-01 exam, and what does it cost?
The passing score for the D-PSC-MN-01 exam is 63%, and the official registration fee is $230 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 150 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 D-PSC-MN-01 exam?
No formal prerequisite exam is required. Dell recommends hands-on experience with Dell PowerScale systems and completion of official recommended training. Requirements can change when Dell EMC revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.
Can I try the D-PSC-MN-01 practice questions before I buy?
Yes. Getcertkey provides a free D-PSC-MN-01 PDF demo so you can review the question style and answer quality before purchasing. Every purchase also includes 365 days of free updates — if EMC revises the exam during that period, the updated material reaches you at no cost. Once the free-update year ends, you can extend your update service at a 50% discount.
What if I fail the D-PSC-MN-01 exam, and how is my order delivered?
Every EMC Dell PowerScale Maintenance purchase on Getcertkey is covered by a 100% money-back guarantee with clear conditions: if you take the corresponding exam within 60 days of your purchase and do not pass, you can claim a full refund by submitting a scanned copy of your exam enrollment slip and your official score report as a PDF within two days of the exam date; claims are processed within seven days of submission. The guarantee does not apply to exams taken within three days of purchase, to material that was downloaded but never used in an exam attempt, or to free products and expired orders, and the candidate name must match the payer name. If you would rather not take a refund, you can instead exchange your purchase for two free exam preparation products of equal value and keep the update service on your original product.
Delivery is instant: your download is sent to your email within one minute of payment, with no limit on how many computers you may install the material on. If nothing arrives within two hours, check your spam folder and contact customer service for help.
