Every fact below comes from Qlik’s own exam-details page unless the row says otherwise. Certification Qlik Replicate Certification (Qlik Data Integration Replicate) Exam code QREP (the code used on AnalyticsExam; Qlik’s page names the exam in full) Number of questions 50 Duration 120 minutes Passing score 54%, which Qlik says is adjusted to maintain a consistent standard Question format Multiple choice; a question that needs more than one answer says exactly how many (Qlik exam FAQ) Exam fee USD 250 — Qlik’s exam FAQ says its exams cost USD 250 each; the exam page itself states no price Delivery Online from anywhere through Qlik Learning, proctored with Webassessor; no test-centre option (Qlik exam FAQ) Language English only (Qlik exam FAQ) Recommended experience At least one year of practical experience with the Replicate platform, onboarding different sources and targets Credential Qlik Replicate Certification badge, via Credly Topics Four weighted topic areas and 14 objectives: Design 47%, Administration 23%, Troubleshooting 22%, Operations 8% The exam page publishes no fee, no language, no validity period and no prerequisite . The fee, the format, the delivery and the language above come from Qlik’s exam FAQ, which covers all Qlik exams. The same FAQ says Qlik exams are open book . One year with Replicate is Qlik’s recommended experience, not a gate. Qlik also warns that exam content is updated periodically and that the number and difficulty of questions may change, so check the page again just before you book. www.analyticsexam.com Qlik • QREP Qlik Replicate Certification (QREP) - Qlik Data Integration Replicate 3 SECTION 02 How the Exam Changed Since the 2021 Beta Much of what is written about this exam online dates from its launch. In July 2021 Qlik announced a Qlik Replicate beta certification exam: 100 questions in 3 hours , of which only 50 would be scored, taken only in a Pearson VUE test centre , at a beta price of USD 75 against a regular USD 250. The exam you book today is a different shape. 2021 beta 100 questions (50 scored), 180 minutes, Pearson VUE test centres Today 50 questions, 120 minutes, 54% to pass, online through Qlik Learning with Webassessor, no test centres What that means for your preparation Ignore older advice that sends you to Pearson VUE; Qlik now delivers it online. Plan your pace for 50 questions in 120 minutes: about 2 minutes 24 seconds each. The exam is open book, so practise finding answers fast in the Qlik Help Center. Check your machine against Webassessor’s system requirements before exam day. The old route lingers even in official answers: a Qlik Support reply on the Qlik Community from December 2024 still told a candidate to take the exam at Pearson VUE. Qlik’s current FAQ is explicit that exams are delivered through Webassessor and that there are no on-site exams at testing centres. Where the two disagree, the FAQ and the exam page win. Their figures also match the AnalyticsExam QREP syllabus page exactly. SECTION 03 The Four Topics and Their Weightings Unlike some Qlik exams, QREP comes with official weightings . Qlik splits the exam into four topic areas and fourteen objectives, and the chart below shows the percentages exactly as Qlik publishes them. Design 47% Operations 8% Troubleshooting 22% Administration 23% Topic weightings as published on Qlik’s exam-details page. Design carries 47%% of the exam from only four objectives: endpoints, the architecture, choosing a task type and its settings, and choosing a transformation. On a 50-question paper that is roughly 23 or 24 questions, so the exam is first of all a test of whether you pick the right design for a stated requirement. Administration (23%%) and Troubleshooting (22%%) are close to equal; Operations, at 8%%, is about four questions. www.analyticsexam.com Qlik • QREP Qlik Replicate Certification (QREP) - Qlik Data Integration Replicate 4 1 Design — 47% of the exam, 4 objectives • Demonstrate an understanding of the requirements to create and manage endpoints. • Demonstrate an understanding of the architecture. • Determine which type of task should be used and its associated task settings. • Use the given requirement to Determine which transformation to use. 2 Operations — 8% of the exam, 2 objectives • Determine when and why to start or stop a task. • Identify options to handle task metadata. 3 Troubleshooting — 22% of the exam, 4 objectives • Identify how to get logs from a task. • Determine the settings for error handling and debug logs. • Identify how to get a diagnostic package. • Debug errors using the attrep_apply_exceptions table. 4 Administration — 23% of the exam, 4 objectives • Identify server settings. • Match user types to roles. • Determine how to set up the Enterprise Manager. • List the different deployment options. Two objectives name something concrete enough to practise directly: the attrep_apply_exceptions table in Troubleshooting and the Enterprise Manager set-up in Administration. Neither appears in the sample set in Section 06, so give them hands-on time of your own. SECTION 04 What the Credential Is Worth There is no official salary series for Qlik Replicate specialists, so the honest benchmark is the nearest occupation the US Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks: database administrators and architects. Its median annual wage was USD 126,760 in May 2025 — USD 139,500 for database architects and USD 104,620 for database administrators. Employment is projected to grow 4% from 2025 to 2035 Those figures describe the field, not this badge. What the certification adds is proof on one specific platform: the Credly badge description says its earners have demonstrated expertise in designing, managing and troubleshooting within Qlik Data Integration Replicate. www.analyticsexam.com Qlik • QREP Qlik Replicate Certification (QREP) - Qlik Data Integration Replicate 5 Where this certification actually helps It certifies design judgement: the right task type and transformation for a need. It covers running and troubleshooting tasks, not only setting them up. It includes the admin side: server settings, user roles, Enterprise Manager. Qlik issues the badge through Credly, so it is easy to show to an employer. It pays off fastest for the data engineer or administrator who already runs Replicate tasks at work and wants that experience recognised. Qlik’s recommended year of hands-on Replicate experience is a fair measure of when you are ready. SECTION 05 Getting Certified, Step by Step 1 Work from Qlik’s objective list Fourteen objectives in four topics; Design alone is 47% of the marks. 2 Design tasks for stated requirements Endpoints, task types and settings, then table-level and global transformations. 3 Run and maintain tasks When to start or stop a task, and how to handle task metadata changes. 4 Troubleshoot on purpose Task logs, error handling, debug logs, diagnostic packages, apply exceptions. 5 Administer, then test yourself Server settings, roles, Enterprise Manager, deployment; then a timed practice set. Step two is where the marks are, and the sample set shows how it is asked: Q2 wants a one-off migration, Q1 wants existing records plus ongoing changes in one task, and Q5 and Q10 turn on which kind of transformation fits. Qlik’s own preparation advice is instructor-led training, the Qlik Learning path Synchronizing data with Qlik Replicate , searching the Qlik Talend Help Center and reading Qlik Community knowledge-base articles. When you want to check that the whole blueprint has landed, AnalyticsExam’s QREP practice exam is built to the same four topics. On retakes, Qlik’s own pages are silent. A partner answering on the Qlik Community Qlik Replicate board in February 2026 says a retake becomes available 24 hours after a failed attempt, with three attempts in total; treat that as community advice and confirm it with Qlik before you rely on it. SECTION 06 Qlik Replicate Sample Questions These ten come from AnalyticsExam’s QREP sample questions page, shown here in shuffled order. All ten are single-answer. Most are short scenarios that state a requirement and ask for the mechanism that meets it — the way the Design topic is examined. Answers follow the set. www.analyticsexam.com Qlik • QREP Qlik Replicate Certification (QREP) - Qlik Data Integration Replicate 6 Q1. Ironvale Steel needs its new target warehouse populated with all of its existing production records, and then wants that warehouse to stay current as new production events occur going forward. Which approach best satisfies both parts of this requirement within a single task? a) Configure the task for store changes only, since a change table on its own will populate the warehouse with the existing records b) Configure the task to perform a full load of existing records and then continue with apply changes (CDC) for ongoing activity c) Configure the task with only table-level transformations, since transformations alone move both existing and future records d) Run two entirely unrelated tasks in sequence, each pointed at a different, unrelated target system Q2. Amberwood Foods is migrating a legacy system to a new database once, with no requirement to keep the two systems synchronized afterward. Which task type best matches this requirement? a) Apply changes (CDC) only, so that the migration continues to track the legacy system indefinitely after cutover b) Full load only, since a single point-in-time copy of the existing data satisfies the stated requirement c) Store changes only, since it will move the existing data into change tables on the target for querying d) A combination of apply changes and store changes, so the migration can be replayed later if needed Q3. Bramblewood Retail wants its Replicate administrators to be alerted automatically whenever a server-wide condition, such as a service restart, occurs. Which category of configuration is the appropriate place to define this kind of alert? a) A transformation, since transformations are the mechanism Replicate uses to raise administrator alerts about server conditions. b) A filter, since filters are applied to determine which server events are visible to which endpoint. c) The attrep_apply_exceptions table, since that table is where Replicate records every administrative alert generated by the server. d) A server setting, since notification behavior is configured for the server rather than for one particular replication task. Q4. At Marlowe Data Services, the source team adds a new column to a table that a running task already replicates. Which option to handle task metadata is the appropriate response so the target reflects the new structure? a) Leave the task's metadata untouched, since it is expected to update itself automatically at some unspecified future point b) Move the task to a different target endpoint entirely c) Reload the task's metadata for the affected table so it picks up the updated table structure d) Change the task's error-handling policy to ignore all future data errors www.analyticsexam.com Qlik • QREP Qlik Replicate Certification (QREP) - Qlik Data Integration Replicate 7 Q5. A designer at Emberline Telecom needs one specific customer-accounts table to have a legacy column dropped and another column renamed as it moves into the target, while every other table in the task should pass through unchanged. Which mechanism should the designer use to achieve this? a) A table-level transformation applied to just that one customer-accounts table b) A filter, since filters are what rename and drop columns c) A task-level error-handling setting configured specifically for that table's error responses d) A global transformation, since it is the only mechanism capable of renaming or dropping a column Q6. An engineer at Ashcombe Logistics has just finished configuring a new replication task's endpoints, table selections, and settings, and the task has not yet run. When would it be appropriate to start this task? a) Only once the attrep_apply_exceptions table already contains at least one recorded error for the task. b) Only after the task has already completed its first full load, since starting a task for the first time happens automatically without any action. c) Once the configuration has been reviewed and is ready to begin its initial load and ongoing replication. d) Never, since a newly configured task is expected to remain stopped indefinitely until it is deleted and recreated. Q7. At Windmere Analytics, an administrator wants extra debug detail only for one task that is misbehaving, without affecting the log verbosity of every other task on the same server. What should the administrator do? a) Raise the server-wide logging level so every task on the server logs at maximum detail, even for tasks that are running normally and do not need any extra diagnostic information b) Reassign the task to a different Replicate server c) Raise the debug logging setting for that specific task alone, leaving other tasks at their existing level d) Change the transformation on the affected task's tables Q8. Solace Manufacturing is documenting how data physically moves once a task is running. Which sequence correctly reflects the flow of data in a running replication task? a) Source endpoint, then the replication engine performing full load and change capture/apply, then the target endpoint b) Source endpoint directly to target endpoint, with the replication engine used only for generating diagnostic packages c) Replication engine, then source endpoint, then target endpoint, so settings are applied before any connection is made d) Target endpoint, then the replication engine, then the source endpoint, so that the target can request only the rows it is missing www.analyticsexam.com Qlik • QREP Qlik Replicate Certification (QREP) - Qlik Data Integration Replicate 8 Q9. A consultant explaining Qlik Replicate to Pinehaven Retail's IT staff wants to describe the normal order of operations once a task begins running. Which sequence correctly reflects how a typical replication task proceeds after it starts? a) The task typically performs a one-time full load of existing data first, then continues by capturing and applying ongoing changes b) The task performs a full load and then immediately stops for good, requiring an entirely brand-new task to be created just to capture any later changes c) The task alternates between the source and target endpoints, swapping which one it reads from every time it runs d) The task first applies ongoing changes, then performs a one-time full load afterward to reconcile any differences Q10. A requirement at Marrow Creek Retail calls for the target version of an orders table to include a new column showing the total price, calculated from the existing quantity and unit-price columns already present in the source. Which mechanism should the designer use to produce this new calculated column? a) A server setting that enables calculated columns for every task running anywhere on that particular server instance b) A filter that restricts replication to only the quantity and unit-price columns c) An error-handling setting that recalculates totals whenever an apply error occurs d) A transformation that derives the new column from the existing quantity and unit-price columns Answer key Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 Q6 Q7 Q8 Q9 Q10 b b d c a c c a a d Ten questions sample a 50-question paper thinly. This set leans towards Design and Operations; it has one question each on debug logging (Q7) and server settings (Q3), and none on diagnostic packages, the attrep_apply_exceptions table, user roles, Enterprise Manager or deployment options — all of which are on Qlik’s objective list.
