Built to mirror the real exam
These domains follow the published PCI DSS objectives. The issuer sets out what the exam covers but not how much each area is worth, so the percentages below are our own study weighting, built to match the shape of the real exam as closely as the published material allows. We would rather tell you that than present a split as something it is not.
