Just finished the course. Honestly, it's a lot of info.

Hi everyone,

I wrapped up the learning modules today. To be honest, my head is spinning a bit. It feels like a massive amount of information to keep straight.

I want to book the exam, but I'm worried about failing or getting stuck on questions that weren't in the labs.

Is the real exam very different from the course material? Any honest advice for a beginner would be really helpful.

Thanks.

Hi @KemdrixBerkeley ,

The exam is a subset of what you have learned in the course. If you're not confident in the material, then wait with your exam, and start working with it instead. In general, you will have a better fundamental understanding if you have worked real life with what you have learned, instead of "just" taking a certification whiteout any real life experience.

@KemdrixBerkeley Usually the questions are based on the training material and the lab exercises. If you are not feeling confident about the exam, I recommend going through the course material and lab exercises again. The real exam isn't different from the course material.
