I failed my first attempt at a CIW exam, so I am studying to take it again. Can I see the questions and answers that I missed on the CIW exam I took?
No, CIW does not release exam items in any form, either questions or answers. This procedure is standard for high-stakes IT certification exams, and helps maintain the value of the credential.
All CIW exam items are copyrighted material. To maintain the security and value of our program, we reserve the right to decertify and/or bar from exams any individual who in any way attempts to republish, distribute, disclose or use our copyrighted certification exam items in an unauthorized manner.

If your local testing center is not helpful, contact the testing service provider’s regional customer service via its Web site or contact phone numbers for further assistance.
CIW exams can be challenged for validity of item content. If you believe you have a legitimate reason to challenge the results of your recent CIW certification exam, you must complete the CIW Exam Item Challenge Form.

Someone I know was using a website that seemed to have exam questions and answers on it. Is this cheating?
Possibly. Numerous Web sites offer so-called practice exams and other test preparation tools. These sites, known as braindumps, are collections of exam items that have been stolen from high- stakes certification exams. Several international organizations publish, distribute and sell these items illegally, under thousands of different organization names and Internet domains. Using these collections is a violation of both the CIW Exam Agreement and the CIW Certification Agreement and is grounds for decertification. If you are considering a practice test tool and are not sure of the legitimacy of a particular site, you can check it using CertGuard’s free search tool at www.certguard.com/search.asp

I passed my CIW certification exam, and I successfully logged in to the CIW Candidate Information Center, but my status does not yet show that I earned the certification. Why?
A CIW certification is awarded only after ALL requirements for that certification have been met. Some CIW certifications require you to pass more than one exam. All CIW certifications require you to complete the CIW Certification Agreement.
Verify that you have completed the CIW Certification Agreement, which is available in the CIW Candidate Information Center. After logging in, click the Candidate Agreement link in the left column. Read the agreement, select Yes at the bottom if you agree to its terms, then click the Submit button. If you require a copy of this document for your personal files, you can also download the PDF version of the Agreement from that location. The CIW Certification Agreement is required for eligibility for any CIW certification.
If you have passed all required exams and completed the CIW Network Certification Agreement but your certification still has not been awarded, review your status in the Certification Progress page. Each program is listed, and indicates your status in each of the requirements for certification. If you have completed all listed requirements, but certification has still not been automatically awarded, please contact us using the Program Information Request form so we can investigate. Be sure to include your CIW ID (shown at the top of all pages in the system).
My History record in the CIW Candidate Information Center says that my certificate has been “Created” and/or “Processed.” What does this mean?
This message means that your certification status has been communicated to us, for archival purposes. Certification Partners no longer physically mails paper certificates for free. Network Certificates are now available electronically within the CIW Candidate Information Center. They can be printed and/or saved as a PDF file. Certification Partners reserves the right to distribute certificates in any manner it deems appropriate and cost-effective
Why does my record in the CIW Candidate Information Center say that I am enrolled in several programs? I did not register for these programs.
You can ignore messages about enrollment history. This message is a technical requirement of the database that powers the CIW Candidate Information Center. Some requirements, such as the CIW Certification Agreement and certain exams, contribute toward some or all certification tracks. Completing one such requirement automatically sends a message to the database that you have satisfied a requirement for, or “enrolled in,” other related tracks, regardless of your plans to pursue them. This message does not indicate that you are scheduled for any courses or exams.
My name is spelled incorrectly in the CIW Candidate Information Center, and I am unable to change this. How can this be fixed?

Include your CIW ID and the complete information from your Official CIW Exam Score Report, including your name as it is spelled on the score report and the way it should be correctly spelled. We will update your name in the CIW Candidate Information Center.
