Congratulations!

Nice share. Great info 👍

It is also worth adding a few other links in here for anyone who is also getting started on the journey or getting exams done.

Tim did a great write up on the difference between the last two versions.

We'll need another one early next year, now that R82 is released (yesterday). 😉

I always recommend to go to the Pearson VUE site before taking exams.

There are some nice promotions going on this month:

The FAQ SK is also good to check on in case of rule changes and any other information about expiring certs, extension and other options or new certification exams.

Congrats! One thing I learned for any exam (whether be IT or anything else) is this...read the questions CAREFULLY, as most of the time, answer itself "lies" in the question : - )

yesss, very nice point, there was some tricky questions that If you did not paid attention you will get it the answer wrong

I always find that in any exam, when you see words like easiest or quickest in the question, thats when they try to trick you : - )
