Common Questions About the Peoplecert DevSecOps Exam
What is the Peoplecert PeopleCert DevSecOps exam all about?
The DevSecOps exam is the official PeopleCert exam behind the DevSecOps Foundation (DSOF) certification, validating the skills measured by the Peoplecert PeopleCert DevSecOps credential. It sits at the Foundation level of the PeopleCert certification program. It also connects to DevSecOps Practitioner (DSOP), DevOps Fundamentals, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the DevSecOps exam, and how much time do I get?
The DevSecOps exam contains 40 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 DevSecOps exam, and what does it cost?
The passing score for the DevSecOps exam is 65%, and the official registration fee is 270 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 40 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.
