Built for exactly this kind of question.

CUI training is full of specific marking and handling rules that are easy to blur together — banner markings, category markings, dissemination controls. Cambo reads the exact question and gives you the precise rule that applies, not just the general concept.

Test yourself with real practice questions.

What is Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)?

  1. AInformation classified at the Confidential level or above
  2. BAny information marked For Official Use Only before 2010
  3. CUnclassified information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls under law, regulation, or government-wide policy
  4. DInformation that has been declassified and released to the public

Answer
CUnclassified information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls under law, regulation, or government-wide policy
Unclassified information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls under law, regulation, or government-wide policy — it's not classified, but it's not freely releasable either.

Where should CUI be stored when not in use?

  1. AIn any unlocked desk drawer inside a government building
  2. BIn a locked container, locked office, or other area with sufficient physical access controls
  3. COn a personal device, provided it is password protected
  4. DAnywhere, as long as it is shredded at the end of the day

Answer
BIn a locked container, locked office, or other area with sufficient physical access controls
In a locked container, locked office, or other area with sufficient physical access controls to prevent access by unauthorized individuals.

What is a "banner marking," in the context of CUI?

  1. AA watermark applied only to printed copies
  2. BA label affixed to the storage container holding the document
  3. CA digital signature verifying the author's identity
  4. DA header at the top (and often bottom) identifying the document as CUI and specifying its category
Tap the card to reveal the answer
Answer
DA header at the top (and often bottom) identifying the document as CUI and specifying its category
A header placed at the top (and often bottom) of a CUI document that identifies it as CUI and specifies its category — the primary visual indicator that special handling rules apply.

Can CUI be sent over regular, unencrypted email?

  1. ANo — CUI must be transmitted using approved, encrypted methods
  2. BYes — as long as the recipient is a federal employee
  3. CYes — as long as the subject line includes the CUI marking
  4. DYes — provided the document is attached rather than pasted into the body
Tap the card to reveal the answer
Answer
ANo — CUI must be transmitted using approved, encrypted methods
No — CUI must be transmitted using approved, encrypted methods. Sending it over unencrypted email is a common training scenario used to test whether the rule has actually sunk in.

What is a "dissemination control" marking on a CUI document?

  1. AA marking indicating how long the information must be retained
  2. BA marking that limits who the information may be shared with, separate from the category marking
  3. CA marking showing which office originally created the document
  4. DA marking indicating the document's classification level
Tap the card to reveal the answer
Answer
BA marking that limits who the information may be shared with, separate from the category marking
A marking that limits who the information can be shared with — for example, restricting distribution to federal employees only — separate from the category marking that says what kind of CUI it is.

Who determines whether a specific piece of information qualifies as CUI?

  1. AThe individual who created the document decides
  2. BAny supervisor may designate information as CUI at their discretion
  3. CIt qualifies only if covered by a law, regulation, or government-wide policy listed in the CUI Registry
  4. DThe recipient decides based on how sensitive the content appears
Tap the card to reveal the answer
Answer
CIt qualifies only if covered by a law, regulation, or government-wide policy listed in the CUI Registry
It only qualifies if it's covered by a law, regulation, or government-wide policy listed in the CUI Registry — an individual can't decide on their own that something is CUI without that basis.
