Alteryx Core exam question

[jthompson989]

I want to start studying for the Alteryx Core exam, and I wanted to know if I need access to the designer program to prepare for the exam?

I have used the designer program in past jobs, but I no longer have access to it now.

The answer is affrimative.
As per below, you need to solve some questions with Alteryx.

So maybe you can apply the 2 weeks trial license?

Hi @jthompson989 ,

yes for preparing you definitely need the Alteryx Designer. Here you can download a free trial:

Thank you for the link. I have used up my free trial on my laptop awhile ago. I signed up for a Udacity program that uses Alteryx, and I received a two-month education license. I hope that I can get through my core and maybe the advanced exam by the end of December. I'm looking for a remote job right now, and I'm hoping these certifications will help with my job search.

hey @jthompson989 

Good luck! 

I would heavily recommend the interactive lessons within the knowledge tag on the left!

You do need a license, I would find it much harder to do a lot of the test, and the practical exams are impossible, without Alteryx access.


If you need any help revising or with any other guidance drop me a PM, i've recently passed the core and working on the advanced

@TheOC 
Maybe we can have a study team, since I just failed my attempt on advanced.😁

@Qiu I would not be opposed to that at all!

The step from core to advanced was more than i thought haha

Trying the Weekly Challenge is a very good way to learn.

HI ALL,

I DO MY BEST WITH ALTERYX TO CONVERT THE DATE FORMAT:

ENCLOSED DATASET HAVING DATE COLUMNS.

I AM UNABLE TO CONVERT INTO STANDARD FORMAT:DD-MM-YYYY
