The SPLK-1004 exam is the official Splunk exam behind Splunk Core Certified Advanced Power User — passing it earns you the Splunk Core Certified Advanced Power User certification, a credential positioned at the Professional level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by Splunk Core Certified Advanced Power User. Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the Splunk Core Certified User, Splunk Core Certified Power User and Splunk Core Certified Consultant certifications, so one pass can move you toward more than one Splunk credential.

The SPLK-1004 exam presents 60-65 questions to be completed within 60-75. That pace leaves little room for second-guessing: read each question carefully on the first pass, flag the ones you want to revisit, and keep moving instead of stalling on a single item. Before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the Exam4PDF desktop or online test engine with a comparable question load — a steady rhythm under the clock is a trainable skill, and it is often what separates a pass from a near miss.

To pass the SPLK-1004 exam you need 70-80%, and the official registration fee is USD 130. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed Exam4PDF practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.

Recommended experience with Splunk Core Certified Power User level knowledge or equivalent hands-on SPL experience. Because Splunk revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word. Confirm the current eligibility requirements on the official Splunk exam page before you register.
