The SDA exam is Peoplecert's gatekeeper for the Service Desk Institute (SDI) Service Desk Analyst v9 certification, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it says you can apply the Peoplecert Service Desk Analyst v9 objectives to real problems — a claim employers can act on. It also sits within a broader certification family covering Service Desk Manager v9 (SDM), so the work you put in here compounds. Easier said than earned — which is exactly why structured practice beats self-directed wandering.

The Peoplecert Service Desk Analyst v9 blueprint spans 12 domains, led by Communication Skills, Problem-Solving, and Roles and Responsibilities. Read the weightings as marching orders: the domain with the largest share of the score gets the largest share of your week. The full topic list is in the exam topics section above — study to it, not around it.

The Peoplecert Service Desk Analyst v9 exam packs 60 questions into 60 minutes. Convert that into a personal tempo before test day: minutes divided by questions is your per-item budget, and anything burning double its budget gets flagged and revisited at the end. Rehearse the tempo against a live timer — every ExamCost engine session enforces one — until finishing with review time to spare feels normal.

Peoplecert Service Desk Analyst v9 requires 65% to pass, and each attempt costs US$433 — including retakes, at full price. The financially sane strategy is arriving over-prepared: drill with ExamCost practice questions until your timed scores clear the mark across several consecutive sessions, then register. Over-preparation is cheaper than re-registration.

The SDA exam is offered in English. Choose the language where your comprehension stays fastest under the clock — slow reading is a hidden tax on every question. If you test in English, daily sessions with ExamCost's English SDA practice questions double as vocabulary training.
