Based on the attached score report, you can extract some useful clues, but it's important to understand the limitations:
Genesys does not publish the exact number of questions per domain in the Workforce Management certification exam, and a score report alone cannot definitively determine the weighting of each section.
However, we can make some educated observations from the percentages shown.

Reverse-Engineering the Approximate Question Counts
Certification reports usually generate percentages from a small number of questions.
For example:
Workforce Management Overview and Configuration - 44.44%
44.44% is very close to:
This suggests roughly 9 questions.
Work Plans and Rotations - 91.66%
91.66% is likely:
This suggests approximately 12 questions.
Forecasting - 50%
Could be:
Most likely around 6-10 questions.
Scheduling and Time-Off Management - 93.33%
Likely:
or
Most certification domains use small pools, so approximately 15 questions is plausible.
Real-Time and Historical Adherence - 100%
Impossible to know exact count.
Could be:
Contact Center Administration - 80%

What This Tells Me About the Exam
The report strongly suggests the candidate was:
Extremely Strong
1 Scheduling and Time-Off Management
2 Work Plans and Rotations
3 Real-Time Adherence
These are likely the easiest points on the exam because they involve practical WFM administration rather than mathematical analysis.
Average
Note: Contact Center Administration
This area is often overlooked by developers.
Topics typically include:
- Queues
- Skills
- Business units
- Management units
- Permissions
- Agents
- Planning groups
Many WFM features depend on proper CC Admin configuration.
Weakest Areas
1 Workforce Management Overview and Configuration
2 Forecasting
These are commonly the most difficult parts of the certification.
Difficulty Ranking
From what I've seen from many WFM candidates, I'd rank the sections as follows:
Easiest
Real-Time and Historical Adherence
Most questions are concept-based.
Examples:
- Intraday monitoring
- Adherence states
- Exceptions
- Historical views
Difficulty: 2/5
Work Plans and Rotations
Configuration-focused.
Examples:
- Rotation cycles
- Shift definitions
- Work plan assignments
Difficulty: 2/5
Scheduling and Time-Off Management
Mostly administrative.
Examples:
- Schedule generation
- Time-off requests
- Activity codes
- Schedule edits
Difficulty: 2/5
Medium
Contact Center Administration
Requires understanding both WFM and Genesys Cloud administration.
Examples:
- Management Units
- Business Units
- Planning Groups
- Queue assignments
Difficulty: 3/5
Hardest
Workforce Management Overview and Configuration
Many candidates underestimate this section.
Examples:
- WFM architecture
- Dependencies
- Configuration sequence
- Staffing concepts
Difficulty: 4/5
Forecasting
Historically the most difficult section.
Examples:
- Forecast calculations
- Historical data requirements
- Forecast accuracy
- Forecast adjustments
- Service level impacts
- Shrinkage concepts
Difficulty: 5/5
If I Were Preparing Based on This Report
I would spend my study time like this:
40%
Forecasting
- Forecast methods
- Historical data
- Forecast adjustment
- Long-term vs short-term forecasts
- Service level impact
30%
WFM Overview and Configuration
- Business Units
- Management Units
- Planning Groups
- Configurations
- Staffing concepts
15%
Contact Center Administration
- Queues
- Skills
- Permissions
- User setup
15%
Everything Else
- Rotations
- Work Plans
- Scheduling
- Adherence
Just enough to maintain proficiency.
Most Important Takeaway
If this candidate passed, the score report reveals a powerful insight:
The candidate achieved only 44.44% in WFM Configuration and 50% in Forecasting, yet likely compensated with extremely strong scores in Scheduling, Work Plans, Rotations, and Adherence.
That means the quickest way to maximize your own score is:
- Master Work Plans and Rotations.
- Master Scheduling and Time-Off Management.
- Master Real-Time and Historical Adherence.
- Achieve at least a working understanding of Forecasting and WFM Configuration.
As a Genesys Cloud Developer, I'd pay special attention to Forecasting and WFM Configuration, because those are typically the least familiar topics for technical resources and often represent the biggest knowledge gap going into the Workforce Management certification.
