PCIP Practice Tests - 2026 - PCI DSS v4.0.1

After self studying to gain my PCI-Professional accreditation, I found there was a gap when it came to good quality practice tests that centred around the PCIP specifically. I actually used these tests for my own preparation and made use of this portal to format them into multiple choice that I could refer too. I have now decided to publish them.

I have designed these tests to help anyone preparing to gain this accreditation and to hopefully provide questions that are in keeping with what is considered in scope when it comes to studying for the PCIP. My goal is to help learners feel more confident by providing questions that will help them ensure they have covered various topics/requirements.

The questions are designed around the new PCI DSS version 4 requirements and ask specific questions around some of the changes that have recently come into affect. Please be aware that the questions vary in regards to difficulty and this has been purposely done to ensure fundamentals of knowledge are included. I would rate each test as slightly different levels of difficulty, with practice test 3 being the hardest. I am aware that there are some duplicate questions which have different wording and/or possible answers, this has been done to ensure key points (especially around how often something is done) are remembered.

My personal advice is to go over these multiple times as revision.

The tests included are designed to replicate the format of the real exam, which means there are 75 questions and a 90 minute timer.

These questions were used as my sole revision along with spending time studying the requirements. I was able to score a passing mark of 98%, which I believe is primarily down to these questions. The point of these questions is to ensure every requirement which specifies a number is remembered. For instance, how often must internal scanning be done?

Regardless of whether you are using these tests to help you prepare. I wish anyone undertaking this accreditation good luck!
