Council Provides New CDA Sample Exams

The Council for Professional Recognition, the organization that administers the CDA® credential, is excited to share the new CDA® exam study guide. This free resource uses research, standards, and best practices to offer reliable guidance as you prepare for the exam.

The sample exam questions are designed to help you:

  • Become comfortable with the types of questions you may encounter
  • Build familiarity with the exam structure
  • Strengthen your understanding of key concepts
  • Boost your confidence heading into exam day

You can access the new sample exam questions for your setting here.

We encourage you to review the guide(s) as part of your study plan. While these items will not appear on the actual exam, they reflect the kinds of questions you may encounter and can help you understand what to expect. The study guides are available in both English and Spanish as part of our commitment to equitable practices and accessible learning for the CDA community.
