Validates knowledge of European data protection law, GDPR requirements, data processing rules and organizational compliance and accountability.
CIPP/E is 90 multiple-choice questions in 150 minutes (15 unscored), with a halfway break after which you cannot go back. The questions apply the GDPR and wider European privacy law to short facts and multi-question scenarios, so recall alone is not enough. We compared the main options on official coverage, scenario practice and price.
Use IAPP's 90-question practice exam as your checkpoint, then add Dr. David's questions or 22Academy's timed trial exam for more scenario practice.

One 90-question exam in a PDF, some questions retired from the real exam, with the correct answer and an explanation for each. Candidates mostly call it representative, and some add a second source for volume.
Great fit if you want IAPP's own wording as a checkpoint before booking.
Poor fit if you need hundreds of questions for repeated drilling; add Dr. David or Privacy Bootcamp.
A full video course with 600 practice questions, flashcards and weekly office hours. The questions come bundled with the course rather than as a separate bank.
Great fit if you want teaching and a large question bank in one purchase.
Poor fit if you only want practice questions; IAPP's exam and a $20 Udemy set cost far less.
One full-length, timed 90-question simulation with analysis by domain and question type. A free 24-question assessment shows your score per domain; the monthly plan adds 2,000+ practice questions.
Great fit if you want one exam-length timed run with a breakdown by domain.
Poor fit if you want several full exams; it sells one trial exam at a time.
A full course with 650+ practice questions and full-length practice exams, sold as one package. It refunds the course fee if you finish every requirement and then fail your first attempt.
Great fit if you want a guided course with a big question bank and a refund backstop.
Poor fit if you only want practice questions; Dr. David's $240 course or a $20 Udemy set costs far less.
Four 40-question practice exams with explanations, including AI Act questions. The page shows 4.0 stars from 38 ratings and was last updated in March 2026.
Great fit if you want a cheap extra set after IAPP's exam.
Poor fit if you want a large bank or a full 90-question run; use Dr. David or 22Academy.

Only in small amounts. IAPP sells its practice exam rather than giving it away, and free question sets online are small and unvetted, so plan on IAPP's exam plus one paid source.
Most candidates call it representative and the closest official guide to the real style, though one 2025 passer did not find it very similar. It is a single exam in a PDF, so most candidates add a second source.
There is no official number. Candidates in the threads typically take IAPP's exam plus one or two other sources, and review each miss against the GDPR text instead of retaking exams.
The exam has 90 questions in 150 minutes, with a 15-minute break, mixing standalone multiple-choice questions and scenario sets. IAPP reports results on a 100 to 500 scale with 300 needed to pass, which is not a percentage.
