How many questions? What types of questions are asked in the exam? How much time do I have to complete the exam? Do I have a choice to take it online or go to an examination center? Do I need to remember all the 21 process goals of DAD and related decision points and options?

Basically, I wish to know the practicalities of taking DASSM exam. If someone has taken the exam, please share your experience

Your DASSM instructor should have provided all this info to you when you took the workshop. If they didn't:

The DASSM exam is 50 questions with a maximum time of 90 minutes and is online, unproctored. The candidate will have one exam attempt included with their workshop purchase. If they fail, they may take it up to 2 additional times within the 60 day eligibility window.

I agree with Kiron and the course is more than enough to pass the exam.

Good Luck.

Thank you, Rami. The online course doesn't go deep in each process goal but the book 'Choose you WoW' does have one chapter for each goal. I was wondering, do I need to remember it for the exam, or can I just use it as a reference in my future work?

I agree with Kiron.

I don’t remember I had to learn anything by heart but I remember Process Goals are very important and you need to have a deep understanding of those. Those should be available in the course material I assume so go through them in details.

The first six chapters (section 1) of the DASSM book are critical to understand for the exam, and you need to be comfortable with the contents of the rest of the book but not in as detailed a manner. Also, the DASSM covers content beyond CYW which is why the course slides, activity workbook and study guide are all crucial references.
