Docker Certified Associate Exam Course
Introduction
Exam Details
In this lesson, we’ll dive into the structure, question formats, and logistics of the Docker Certified Associate (DCA) exam. You’ll learn how the exam is organized, what to expect on test day, and where to find official resources.
Exam Structure
- Total Questions: 55
- Duration: 90 minutes
- Passing Score: 55% (subject to change)
Question Formats
The DCA exam uses two distinct question types:
| Format | Description |
|---|---|
| Standard Multiple Choice | Select one correct answer from a list of options. |
| Discrete Option Multiple Choice (DOMC) | Each option appears one at a time. Respond “Yes” or “No” to indicate whether the displayed choice is correct. |
Note
DOMC questions end immediately upon an incorrect response. Build a strong foundation in Docker networking, storage, and security to tackle these efficiently.
Example: Standard Multiple Choice
Select the correct answer and click Submit.
In contrast, a DOMC question shows one option at a time. If you mark it correctly, you move on; a wrong answer ends the question immediately.

- A private, walled room with no interruptions
