The PGCES-02 exam, officially titled PostgreSQL CE 8 Silver, is the PostgreSQL-CE exam you pass to earn the PostgreSQL Certified Engineer Silver certification, a credential at the Intermediate / Silver level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as PostgreSQL CE Gold, PostgreSQL CE Platinum.

The PGCES-02 exam includes 50–70 questions and gives you 90–100 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 PGCES-02 exam is 63%–70%, and the official registration fee is 150 USD (outside Japan); 16,500 JPY (Japan). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying 150 USD (outside Japan); 16,500 JPY (Japan) again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on Fast2test practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.
