What does the Tableau mock test cover?

The test covers 13 topics across three levels. Each attempt picks 15 to 30 questions at random, by the level you choose, so every attempt is different.

  • Calculated Fields
  • Filters and Order of Operations
  • LOD Expressions
  • Table Calculations
  • Joins, Relationships and Blending
  • Data Connections and Extracts
  • Charts and Maps
  • Dashboards and Actions
  • Dimensions and Measures
  • Parameters and Sets
  • Performance
  • Tableau Basics
  • Tableau Server and Cloud

Sample Tableau mock test questions

One question from each level, the way they appear in the test. A new set comes on the 1st of every month. Try it, then open the answer.

  1. FresherTable Calculations

    When are table calculations computed?

    • Before the query, on every row of the data source one by one
    • After the query, on the aggregated values that are already in the view
    • Only at the moment the workbook is published to a Tableau Server or Cloud site
    • When the extract is created, and then stored inside the extract
    Show the answer

    Answer: After the query, on the aggregated values that are already in the view. Table calculations are computed by Tableau on the result table of the sheet, after aggregation and after most filters. That is why they depend on what is in the view and on the Compute Using setting.

  2. Intermediate (1-5 years)Data Connections and Extracts

    A Gurugram team refreshes an extract incrementally on Order ID. Customer care edits the status of an old order in the database. What does the next incremental refresh do with that edit?

    • Deletes the old row and appends the edited version at the end of the extract
    • Misses it, because only rows above the highest stored Order ID are fetched
    • Updates that row, because incremental refresh compares every row to the source
    • Fails with an error until a full refresh has been run on the extract first
    Show the answer

    Answer: Misses it, because only rows above the highest stored Order ID are fetched. Incremental refresh is append-only: it asks for rows whose key is greater than the extract's current maximum. Edits and deletions of older rows are invisible to it until a full refresh rebuilds the extract.

  3. Experienced (5+ years)Dimensions and Measures

    A view has Region on Rows, SUM(Sales) on Columns and ATTR(Customer) on Tooltip. How many marks does each region have?

    • One for each customer of the region, as Customer is on the Marks card
    • One for every row of the data source that belongs to the region
    • Two: one mark for SUM(Sales) and a second mark for ATTR(Customer)
    • One, because an aggregated field on Tooltip does not add to the level of detail
    Show the answer

    Answer: One, because an aggregated field on Tooltip does not add to the level of detail. Only dimensions on the shelves and the Marks card set the level of detail. ATTR(Customer) is an aggregate, so it just shows the customer when there is one, or * when the region has several.

Take the full Tableau mock test: 15 to 30 questions and 15 to 30 minutes, by level.

How is the Tableau mock test scored?

A question counts as right only when you pick exactly the right option, or all the right options where it says so; a question left blank counts as wrong. Your score is the share of the test's questions you got right (15 to 30, by level). The result also scores every topic, so you know what to revise before the interview.

  • 75% or more in a topica strength
  • 50% to 74%worth a revision
  • Under 50%a topic to work on

The questions cover Calculated Fields, Filters and Order of Operations, LOD Expressions, Table Calculations, Joins, Relationships and Blending, Data Connections and Extracts, Charts and Maps, Dashboards and Actions, Dimensions and Measures, Parameters and Sets, Performance, Tableau Basics, Tableau Server and Cloud.

Can employers see my Tableau score?

Only your best Tableau score, and only when it is 60% or more. It shows on the job applications you send on CoreHRx. Lower scores stay private.

Can I take the Tableau mock test again?

Yes, up to 10 tests a day. Each attempt picks questions you have not seen recently first.
