How to be prepared for the Alteryx certification exam?

[Alice_Mu]

Hi guys, I'm stepping into the Alteryx world recently and trying to learn as much things about this software as possible. I'm also interested in getting the certification for Alteryx, is there anything I should learn about to be prepared for the exam? Thank you!

Hi Luke,

Thank you so much! I will look at the prep guide to be prepared for the exam.

Make notes so that you spend less time on the MCQs and more on solving the (3) mark data solving problems. Invest time in learning more about Join, Append and Union tools. Note down the challenging questions during your first attempt, re-look at them and be prepared with the solution while you're retaking the exam.

Hi @Alice_Mu 

You can also take a look at some weekly challenges that describes what subjects are covered in each challenge to learn more about each tool.

Hi @Alice_Mu 

The below will the one stop learning platform for your preparation.

Break into 2 parts:

1. Go through all the tools in Tools Palette and their usage/limitations.

2. Also request you too practice as much as possible with Challenges before taking up the exam.

Answering 80 questions in 2 hours for Core Designer will be ending up in time crunch.

As nowadays most of the companies have started using Alteryx in future it will be like one of MANDATORY applications like Excel.

All the best for your exam. Welcome to the Alteryx community.
