Second Databricks Data Engineer Associate Exam Suspension – Looking for Advice

yashwanve7 — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 23:00:57 GMT

My Databricks Data Engineer Associate exam was suspended for the second time while taking it online. During this attempt, I had reached approximately question 40 out of 55. The only warning I received from the proctor was that my face was partially outside the camera frame. I immediately adjusted my position and continued taking the exam, but a short while later the exam was suspended.

I was not using any unauthorized materials, talking to anyone, or leaving my workstation. My only interaction with the proctor was the warning about my camera framing.

I have already contacted Databricks Certification Support and requested a manual review of the recording and proctor notes.

I'm hoping to hear from others who may have experienced something similar:

Were you able to get the suspension overturned or receive another attempt?
How long did support take to respond?
Did support explain the exact reason for the suspension?
If you took the exam again, did you switch to an in-person testing center or make changes to your setup?

I've invested a significant amount of time preparing for this certification, so I'm trying to understand what I can do differently and what I should expect from the review process.

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello @cert-ops,
I have raised a support ticket regarding my Databricks Certified Data Analyst Associate exam (Ticket #00983055) requesting a reschedule. I prepared thoroughly for this certification and attended the exam sincerely. Unfortunately, the exam ended unexpectedly after I had completed around 40 questions, without any warning.
I kindly request that my ticket be reviewed and, my exam be rescheduled. I would appreciate any update on my request.
Thank you.
