CATIA Practice Test

The CATIA Practice Test is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. Practice for Dassault Systèmes CATIA certification exams such as Part Design, Assembly Design and Mechanical Design specialist — sketching and constraints, solid part features, assembly design, and drafting and design intent — written to CATIA V5 and 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA documentation and the 3DS Academy certification topics for 2026. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable CATIA Readiness certificate (SOA-C6). Every question is based on published standards and research — including CATIA V5 and 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA user documentation (Sketcher, Part Design, Assembly Design, Drafting) (Dassault Systèmes), ISO 128 Technical product documentation: general principles of representation (projection methods) (ISO) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Yes. Science of Apps has a free CATIA Practice Test built on the current Dassault Systèmes exam outline for 2026 and 2027. It covers sketcher and constraints, part design features, assembly design and drafting and design intent, scores you instantly and issues a verifiable certificate.

Read the four skill areas on this page, then take the 20-minute test online — no fee, course or sign-up. You see every answer explained when you finish. Score 70% or more and you get a CATIA Readiness certificate straight away, on screen, as a PDF and by email, with a credential ID anyone can verify.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: CATIA V5 and 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA user documentation (Sketcher, Part Design, Assembly Design, Drafting) (Dassault Systèmes); ISO 128 Technical product documentation: general principles of representation (projection methods) (ISO). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Sketcher and Constraints (Sketch tools, Geometric and dimensional constraints and Sketch status); Part Design Features (Sketch-based features, Dress-up features and Patterns and parameters); Assembly Design (Products and components, Constraints and Analysis); Drafting and Design Intent (Views and projection, Dimensions and annotations and Design intent and reuse). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Mechanical design engineer, CAD designer or draughtsperson, Automotive or aerospace design engineer, Product development engineer and Engineering student learning CATIA. It suits anyone who wants a quick, verifiable way to show CATIA knowledge in 2026 and 2027, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals.

Dassault Systèmes offers CATIA certifications through 3DS Academy, including Part Design, Assembly Design and Drafting specialist exams and a Mechanical Design expert level, for both CATIA V5 and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Most exams are hands-on, timed modelling tasks.

Practise building fully constrained sketches, solid features and assemblies quickly, and check results with measure and mass properties as the exams do. Learning to read the specification tree and to fix update errors saves a lot of time.

No. It is an independent practice test written to the publicly available CATIA content outline for 2026 and 2027, for checking your readiness before you book the real exam. Passing earns a Science of Apps certificate rather than the official credential.

Yes. The test is online, in English and free everywhere — people take it from India, the US, the UK, Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Your certificate is dated with your own local date and can be verified from anywhere at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/.

20 questions — 5 from each of 4 skill areas — with a 20-minute limit. You need 70% (14 of 20) to pass and 90% for distinction.

We rate it Intermediate: assumes hands-on experience in the role. It has 20 scenario questions — 5 from each of 4 skill areas — and a 20-minute limit. You need 70% (14 of 20) to pass and 90% for distinction.

Nothing. There is no fee to take a test, to receive the certificate, to have it emailed or to verify it, and no sign-up.

On our server, not in your browser. The answers never reach the page until you submit, so a certificate can only be earned by passing. Each certificate gets a unique credential ID stored by Science of Apps.

You see your score for each area and every question with the correct answer and why, with the published source behind it. You can retake after 30 minutes, and the retake draws questions you haven't seen yet.

No. Every certificate is dated, so it always shows when you passed. Retake a test any time for a newer date or a higher score.

Yes. After you pass, Add to LinkedIn opens the Licenses & certifications form with the certificate name, Science of Apps as the issuer, the issue date, your credential ID and the verification link filled in. You can also download it as a PDF or PNG, and it's emailed to you as a PDF.

Every certificate has a credential ID and a QR code. Scanning it, or entering the ID at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/, shows the holder's name, the certification, the score and the issue date from our records.

No. They are Science of Apps' own assessments of applied skill. They aren't issued by a university or standards body, and they work best alongside a portfolio that shows the skills in real work.
