Thank you for completing the nine courses toward the DAS Certificate Program!
Your access to this exam will expire on May 31, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. U.S. central time. Please complete the exam before that time. SAA will not be able to extend this time frame.
The DAS Comprehensive Exam will be available beginning on May 01, 2024.
This comprehensive exam consists of two parts: a Comprehensive Exam Terms and Non-Disclosure Agreement form and the 100-question comprehensive exam. In order to unlock the exam, you must first accept the terms and non-disclosure agreement.
Once you start the exam, you have three (3) hours, in one sitting, in which to complete it. A countdown timer is located at the top right of the exam area. We are not able to reset this timer, so please monitor your time.
Do not use your browser's back/forward buttons or swipe your trackpad. Doing so will end the exam, and your answers will be submitted as is (which could cause you to fail the exam). Instead, use the "next" and "prev" buttons located at the top and bottom of each page, or click the sidebar to the left of the screen.
If you fail the exam for any reason, you must wait until the September 2024 cycle to repurchase and retake the exam. There are no retakes built into this exam, and SAA will not make exceptions.
Those who pass the exam can access their DAS Certificates by visiting your portal in PathLMS portal, clicking your name in the top right-hand corner, and clicking the Certificates tab.
