Questions was too hard and for many questions all answers looked correct. Complete your certsafari coverage 100% before going in exam

Fairly easy when working with Claude. Questions are pretty similar to the ones supplied here. Went with 96% performance and 73% coverage and got a 966

The exam was easier than the questions in this mock test. I have completed all trainings first on Anthropic Academy, then started to complete 2-4x25 questions here on a daily basis. Explanations helped a lot to understand and learn. Heavily suggest this mock test as it gives you a lot of confidence. Also it grants full exam kind of experience with time based testing feature.

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!

I initially scored less than 70% on the practice tests. After a few days of consistent practice and reviewing my mistakes, I was consistently scoring 85–90%. I completed the Udemy course by Derar Alhussian and all 4 practice tests, then went through all the practice questions here. The questions here were more than enough to prepare me for the exam. One of the best resources I used was CertSafari. Honestly, I would have struggled to pass the exam if I hadn’t found this resource. Highly recommend consistent practice and reviewing your mistakes. It made a huge difference in my confidence and preparation!

Practice daily and review each wrong answer

For me, I found it difficult and got confused while choosing the most accurate option. I feel this was mainly because of my limited experience working with real products and dealing with day-to-day situations. I think the examples mentioned in the guide would help you tackle this issue. Once you consistently score 90+, you can proceed with the Anthropic questions. I would recommend taking the test three times and scoring 90+ each time. This will help you identify and close any knowledge gaps and reduce confusion between different domains and sections.

I agree with the general view that CCAR-P was less technical than CCAR-F. I found the CertSafari questions very technical and harder than the actual exam questions, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't study here. I found CertSafari the best environment to study in, and its questions are the best to learn from. I really learned a lot here. Only one day before my exam, I noticed the newly added content section, which was a bit upsetting! Overall, I'm grateful CertSafari exists and prepared me for these exams. After learning the nitty-gritty with CertSafari, I passed both exams easily.

Well, it was hard to prepare, even though I had an experience. I got around 80% here on the platform, but exam itself seemed to be easier afterwards. Always keep your attention on the details of the question

CertSafari helped me a lot while studying for the exam, but one thing I think needs to be made very clear is that the actual exam questions are quite different from CertSafari’s. The biggest issue isn’t necessarily that the questions are harder. It’s that they’re much more ambiguous. By comparison, CertSafari’s questions are much more straightforward, and it’s generally easier to understand what the question is actually trying to test. For native or highly proficient English speakers, this probably makes the exam significantly easier. But if English isn’t your first language, the difficulty can increase dramatically.

I worked with Snowflake perviously but only at an elementary level. After studying with Udemy courses, I found that this resource had question most similar to exams. It contained lots of simulation style questions where you have to apply the concepts based on very specific conditions.

I initially went through the Anthropic materials available in Skilljar to gain a foundational understanding of the concepts. After that, I practiced using the CertSafari platform. Once I completed the assessment, I reviewed the provided prompts and validated them using ChatGPT.

Real exam is easier than the questions here. I solved one-third of the questions here. They are good for confidence, but require much more memorization than the exam. The exam was mostly scenario based.

I started to learn everything with native-language and then do exam course again and again until 50% is achieved of problem coverage. I noted and memorize some words which I cannot understand and even a keyword to resolve problem.

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.

The questions really try to confuse you. Try and read through the lines to understand what its asking. Also, if you tend to read slowly ask for more time. 2 hours wasn't enough to finish the test.

The exam was easier than the test questions here. There were not multi-select questions. Almost all of them had two obviously false answers you could easily rule out.

Although I spent 50% of time for multiple AWS/GCP/Azure certification exams, I finished CCAR-F in almost 2 hours without even having time to review flagged questions. I spent much time for some long questions. Some question answers were very similar.

There was a lot of theory; I had only about 5–10 questions regarding parameters, configuration, or other practical aspects. Also, most questions can quite easily be reduced to a choice between two options.

The actual exam was considerably easier than the questions here. I didn’t get any “multiple select” questions; all of mine were simply about choosing the correct answer from four options. I prepared by completing the relevant courses on Skilljar and practicing as many of the questions here as I could. I think preparing to achieve more than 50% coverage should be sufficient. I’d also recommend reading the questions carefully. Some of them contain little tricks, such as “is not” or “is best” or "fits better" so make sure you don’t fall for those!
