About Our Certification Exams
The Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma certification exams are identical with only one exception: Six Sigma exam questions do not include Lean-related questions.
Each exam is time-restricted (see table at right for duration per exam). All exams cover our published Lean Six Sigma Curriculum. (Six Sigma curriculum has Lean elements removed). The passing score is 80% for all exams.
All students get two attempts. Exams are administered online. You will need a reliable internet connection, a personal computer, and a web browser.
The exam interface allows you to flag questions for review before submission. If you do not submit your test before your allotted time, the test will auto-submit once your testing time has expired.
Exam Question Types
- Single Choice (84%) - One "single" correct response
- Multiple Choice (14% ) - More than one correct response
- Matrix Sorting (2%) - Move items into the correct locations
