The D-ISM-FN-23 exam is the official exam behind the DCA-ISM: Dell Certified Associate – Information Storage and Management credential from EMC. It sits at the Associate / Foundational level of the EMC certification track. It is also associated with DEA-1TT5 (retired), DCA-ISM, Dell Proven Professional. The Actual4Labs practice questions on this page map to the same objectives, so you can measure your readiness before you book a seat.

The D-ISM-FN-23 exam contains 60 questions and gives you 90 minutes to complete them. That pace leaves little room for getting stuck, so train yourself to flag a hard question, move on, and circle back later. Run at least one full timed session in the Actual4Labs test engine a week before your exam date to check whether your pacing holds under pressure.

You need 60% to pass the D-ISM-FN-23 exam, and the official registration fee is USD 200 (may vary by region). A retake means paying that fee again in full, which makes thorough preparation the cheaper option by far. Before scheduling, take a timed Actual4Labs practice test; if you are not scoring comfortably above the passing line, give yourself more study time instead of booking on hope.
