The CQE exam, officially titled Certified Quality EngineerExam, is the ASQ exam you pass to earn the Certified Quality Engineer certification, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as Certified Quality Auditor, Certified Reliability Engineer, Certified Quality Manager, Certified Six Sigma Black Belt.

The CQE exam includes 175 (160 scored, 15 unscored pretest) questions and gives you 318 (5h 18min exam time, 330min total appointment) to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the Fast2test desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the CQE exam is 550 scaled score out of 750, and the official registration fee is Member: $498–$550 USD; Non-member: $698–$750 USD; Retake: $350 USD. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying Member: $498–$550 USD; Non-member: $698–$750 USD; Retake: $350 USD again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on Fast2test practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.
