What Candidates Ask About the AVIXA CTS Exam

Can you give me an overview of the CTS exam?

The AVIXA Certified Technology Specialist exam (code: CTS) is the official AVIXA exam that leads to the AVIXA Certification certification. It sits at the Associate level of the AVIXA certification track. It is also connected with related credentials such as CTS-D (Certified Technology Specialist - Design), CTS-I (Certified Technology Specialist - Installation). Passing it proves to employers that your skills have been validated by AVIXA itself, which is why the CTS credential keeps showing up in job postings.

How many questions are in the CTS exam, and how long does it take?

The AVIXA Certified Technology Specialist exam gives you 150 minutes to work through 115. Pacing matters more than most candidates expect, so before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the Dumpkiller test engine to learn how long you can afford per question. If an item stalls you, flag it and move on — coming back later beats burning five minutes on a single question.

What score do I need to pass the CTS exam, and how much does it cost?

The passing score for the AVIXA Certified Technology Specialist exam is 350 / 500, and the official registration fee is $490 USD. Remember that a failed attempt means paying that fee in full again, so a timed self-assessment with Dumpkiller practice questions about a week before your exam date is a cheap way to confirm you are scoring comfortably above 350 / 500.
