Solution
How do I know if I am ready to take the exam? Nothing can guarantee that you will pass your test, however; the more
practical work experiences you have and the more training you complete, the
better your chances are to pass the test.
Since Adobe exams measure knowledge and skills for a specific job role, one of
the best ways to prepare for the exam is to ensure you have the minimum work
experience, as described in this guide.
What training is available to help me prepare for the exam?
Is training required? You are not required to complete training before taking the exam; however,
training can significantly increase your knowledge of and skills with Adobe
Experience Manager. It is important to note that training alone will not provide
you with the knowledge and skills required to pass an exam. Successful,
on-the-job experience, is critical to providing you the knowledge needed to pass
the exam.
