Hello Everyone. I will be taking my Alteryx Core certification. Any tips will be helpful.

Hello,

A couple of tips for the core certification:

• Learn the different Alteryx File formats .ydb etc (This one caught me out)
• Take the example exam - https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/alteryx.certification/sample-exam.pdf
• Its open book so use as many resources as you can
• Use the Alteryx help pages - https://help.alteryx.com/current/Designer_Home.htm
• Don't need to know spatial or predictive
• Focus on Data Prep, Transform, Join and Favorites categories

ENJOY IT and become a certified Alteryx User!

@Divyansh Congrats on clearing the Core Certification, I'll be taking mine next month. From you experience any tips or advice ?

Hi @Sidkota,

I would suggest completing all the videos Lectures, Spatial is not needed for the Core Certification. Also if you could , practice the weekly challenges (at least the beginner level challenges), they will be very helpful. You can find them in the Academy Section.

Thanks for the tips. 
I don't have Alteryx installed on my pc yet due to license issues.

Is it okay to take the certification test having only watched the academy videos (and not actually practising it) ?

Hi @Flippe,

It's tough to say because there are a lot of question which require practical approach.
