How many questions are in the IDN engineer exam and what is the duration?
Welcome to the beta experience of the SailPoint community. Pardon our dust! Learn more
Good day @Toyo , Like the Professional Exam, the Engineer Certification Exam has a time limit of 90 minutes.
The number of questions on the exam is not fixed. These numbers are variable: your experience and exam content will differ from others. The topics are the same.
You may find a lot of helpful information in this webinar series, specifically April 4:

Best of luck on the exam!
@amy_shillinglaw excellent info!
And @Toyo , if you haven’t found it already the IdentityNow Engineer study guide is located here.
Thank you so much @amy_shillinglaw
Thank you @paul_patti
That is exactly the guide i have been using
Hi, @amy_shillinglaw from the link sent i am not seeing April 4 webinar there.
Hi @Toyo There should be 5 videos total on the page. April 4 is the second video where the team answers common questions: what to expect, how to register, etc. I am attaching a screen shot. I hope this is helpful.

Hi @amy_shillinglaw @paul_patti
Can you please provide some guidance on using the engineer study guide and the referenced material. Section 1.i references the below training material but I cannot locate Security as a section in the videos
Training - IdentityNow Introduction – Security
Training - IdentityNow Essentials - Security
Those webinar videos that you provided @paul_patti are fantastic! Is there anything equivalent but for the engineer study guide?
Thanks in advance!
Hello @hreimert , this refers more to the concept of data as it travels from the enterprise to IdentityNow. Since this is an engineer level exam, part of the knowledge is being able to look at the resources and find where this occurs in the courses, even though there’s not a section with that name.
So I’d review all the courses in the training path, and look for areas that cover data flow between your PC and the IdentityNow tenant. I’d also focus on the Virtual Appliance, and the different ways data can be secured in connecting it to the tenant.
Regarding an engineering exam webinar and recording, that’s a great idea! There’s nothing on the calendar now, but that may be possible in the future. Please stay tuned in the Community for updates!
Thanks for the clarification @paul_patti !
