The ICDL-Access exam, officially titled ICDL-Access Exam, is the ICDL exam you pass to earn the ICDL Profile / ICDL Certification certification, a credential at the Associate level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as ICDL Base, ICDL Spreadsheet, ICDL Word Processing, ICDL Presentation.

The ICDL-Access exam includes 36 questions and gives you 45 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the PrepAwayTest desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the ICDL-Access exam is 75%, and the official registration fee is Varies by country and test center (typically ~USD 80–150 equivalent). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying Varies by country and test center (typically ~USD 80–150 equivalent) again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on PrepAwayTest practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.
