The proctor was extremely helpful & lessened my testing anxiety. Thanks!

"DO NOT get certified here"

I put a lot of effort into my post on linkedin about this, so I will copy and paste that into here. Please ignore any hastags or the like.

This was my worst testing & exam experience so far, and I would personally not recommend using Getcertified, or going after this particular cert if it is not required AT THIS POINT IN TIME; Further, I would like to provide constructive feedback, rather than just bashing a company when they can improve and give others a better #experience than I got.

Good Things:

- The immediacy of scheduling a test was great; you could schedule at any point in time. Additionally, you could come back to a the scheduling workflow if something came up in the middle and you needed to save.

- There isn't a lack of study materials for this particular exam; As you can find plenty out there. I'll put the main one I used down here that helped me for anyone who is #curious.


Bad Things:

- The exam experience itself: will caveat that every certification exam is in and of themselves an ad. However, I felt less sold to for my Amazon Web Services (AWS) exams than I did for my Microsoft exam. Every question on this exam is very clearly & does so in an interupptive manner an ad for Microsoft.


- Proctors are observing 20+ people at a time. Hence, you will not get your questions answered if you have any, or direct attention on your exam. Further, there is no audio for either side. While this can be due to lack of resources, it limits the quality of interaction between test takers and the test centers; Meaning that reviews like this happen, where someone doesn't recommend using the product or service you provide.


In Summation:

While I am overjoyed that I got the opportunity to obtain this certification, I just want to be as #authentic with people as I can regarding things I #recommend or don't recommend.

Thank you for reading, and may your preparation lead to more luck.
