Heavy on the exam

Experience & advice

Feasible if you are an experienced dbt developer working across the entire dbt stack (SQL/Python models, tests, contracts, data modeling, optimization, materializations, and dbt commands/flags). The exam is not easy. It requires effort, attention to detail, and a long study period that should include testing all the dbt features in a test project, reading the documentation suggested by the study guide, and exploring resource configurations and properties. CertSafari helped me a lot! The questions are not the same as the exam's, but they're a really nice way to test your dbt knowledge. Highly recommend it!

Heavy on the exam

Experience & advice

Harder than expected, but I don't know if I had studied differently anyway. There were definitely more questions concerning syntax than I had expected. In many cases, the type of questions were not quite as these practice questions, but rather often testing if your studies had given enough knowledge to be able to reason your way to the correct answer. But many questions were also similar to these. I studied mainly through the practice questions and collected information from the dbt documentation on the topics touched upon. I also used the jaffle shop project and Github Copilot to implement additional functionality. One thing to note is that there is 65 questions but 100 points, so you can collect partial points.
