The SPLK-2002 exam, officially titled Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect, is the qualifying exam for the Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect certification, which sits at the Expert level. Earning it shows employers that you have the skills the credential stands for, and it is a solid step forward on a Splunk career path. It also connects to Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect, so the effort you put in now keeps paying off as you advance.
The SPLK-2002 exam gives you 60 questions to complete within 60 minutes. Do the math before exam day: divide the total time by the question count to set a steady per-question pace, and flag any item that stalls you so you can return to it after securing the easier points. The most reliable way to build that rhythm is a full timed practice test under the same limit, which is exactly what TestSimulate's test engines are designed for.
The passing score for Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect is 700 / 1000, and the official registration fee is USD 130.00. Keep in mind that a retake means paying that fee again in full, which makes an honest self-check worthwhile: before you book, sit a timed practice test and make sure you are consistently scoring above the passing line with some margin to spare.
