A sample ADP question
One question written for this page, in the same style as the questions in the bank.
Data Management
An analytics team keeps raw log files in a Cloud Storage bucket. Files are read often in their first 30 days, rarely after that, and must be deleted after one year. You want to lower storage cost with the least ongoing effort. What should you do?
- AAdd Object Lifecycle Management rules that move objects to Coldline after 30 days and delete them after 365 days. — Correct answer
- BRun a weekly script that copies older files to a second bucket in the Archive storage class.
- CEnable Object Versioning so that older copies are kept at a lower price.
- DLoad the files into BigQuery and delete the bucket.
About the ADP exam
How many questions are on the Associate Data Practitioner exam?
50–60 multiple choice and multiple select questions in two hours. ReadyForCert papers use 50 questions in 120 minutes.
What score do I need to pass the ADP exam?
Google does not publish a passing score or your numeric result — you receive a pass or fail. Because there is no published bar, aim comfortably above a bare pass: ReadyForCert scores you against a 72% threshold so you have a concrete target.
How much does the exam cost and how long is it valid?
Registration is USD $125 plus tax where applicable, and the certification is valid for 3 years.
Are these the real Google ADP exam questions?
No. These are practice questions written against the current official exam guide. Google's exam content is confidential and the bank is rotated, so practising against leaked questions does not survive an exam refresh.
