Frequently Asked Questions
Is the DEA vocabulary game free?
Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How do the DEA vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 DEA terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the DEA terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the Databricks / Kryterion content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the Databricks Data Engineer exam pass rate?
Databricks does not publish a pass rate or a fixed passing score; its FAQ says passing scores are set statistically and can change as exams are updated. The exam has 45 scored multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes, and up to 10 unscored items may also appear.
