Hurray! Core Cert Passed :)

Question

Delighted to join the ranks of those who have passed Alteryx Designer Core Certification 😁

It was harder than I expected but I think I was ready for it after about 18 months' use, I didn't have to prepare specifically for it. Full respect to anyone who succeeds in passing this from scratch with a couple of weeks' study.

The exam makes you realise how deep a piece of software it is and how easy it is to miss configuration options even on tools I use daily!

Just looked at the Advanced Certification and it looks tough - I'm pretty certain I would need to study for that regardless. I still haven't gotten my head around macros yet. 🤔

How did others find the Core exam?

It really helps if you come from an analytics/data science and programming background. Completed it in first attempt with about 3 weeks usage.

Congrats, best of luck progressing to the next level! I've been a user for approximately the same period of time (17-18 mo), though I only have 6 workflows under my belt as a designer. I agree that the exam is challenging and requires specific, detailed knowledge to succeed. The scores on my attempts so far have been 62, 64, and 78. The points I lose are almost entirely practical application problems as I'm not proficient in designing workflows on the fly.
