Any one appered in CAD recently

Hey All,

Just checking if anyone appeared for CAD recently to know which Version is asked for in the exam. Right now I am preparing with Zurich release version but will be helpful to see if stuff from Australia started appearing in exam yet or not?

Hi @Mitesh__Sharma 

From my experience, the exam questions do not change significantly with each release. Usually, only 5–10% of the questions change, while the core concepts remain the same.

So, if you prepare using the Zurich release material, you should be fine to appear for the exam. Don't worry too much about the release version—the key is to have a clear understanding of the concepts, as that is what matters most.

ahoy @Mitesh__Sharma,

usually the difference across versions is not that big, maybe a few questions are reflecting the newer version but don't expect that majority of the questions will be changed.

Also, the new version usually brings changes to particular modules - ITSM, CSM, SPM, etc. but CAD is "overlapping" as it is more for the overall platform rather than to focusing on a single module.

With that said, I wouldn't focus on new thingies brought in Australia as the CAD is about BASIC concepts and methdos in the development process within ServiceNow.

I haven't found any closer details, but you can check these credentialing (use the lookup icon in the top left corner)
