Exam Blueprint
How much each domain can weigh
Snowflake gives each domain as a range, not one fixed number. The coloured bar shows where that range sits.
Movement and Transformation together can reach 60% of the exam, so strong pipeline skills matter most.
Domain Details
Open each domain to see what is inside
Data Movement 25–30%
- Loading data into Snowflake from different sources
- Continuous ingestion with Snowpipe
- Working with staged files and semi-structured data
Data Transformation 25–30%
- Incremental processing with streams and tasks
- Transforming semi-structured data
- User-defined functions and Snowpark development
- Processing unstructured data
Performance Optimization 20–25%
- Reading the Query Profile to find problems such as data spilling
- Choosing and resizing virtual warehouses
- Clustering and pruning to reduce scanned data
Storage and Data Protection 10–15%
- Data recovery with Time Travel and Fail-safe
- How streams affect Time Travel
- Analysing micro-partitions with system functions, including clustering depth and cluster keys
Security 10–15%
- Roles, privileges, and managed access schemas
- Row access policies
- Data masking
Scenario Habits
Three habits that win scenario questions
Advanced questions rarely ask for definitions. They describe a problem and expect you to reach for the right first move.
Open the Query Profile first. If it shows data spilling, a larger warehouse is the usual first fix.
If the copy should not carry Fail-safe cost, think transient objects when you clone.
To keep grant control in one place, think managed access schemas, where the schema owner controls grants.
