I think you need to be registered for the test to take the practice.  Don't bother with it, it's nothing like the real exam.

Same here. Same here. And no response from Marketo. I was especially annoyed with the ENTIRE section on the calendar. We don't use that, as we have more users than they allow without purchasing more. I know the basics of it from initially learning about the new product, but there was nothing about it on the practice exam. nothing. Also, yes, the trick questions were just annoying.

Marketo did finally send through a revised practice exam with updated study materials about a month after Summit. I've yet to take the practice test again, but I hear it's much more in-line with how the test is now.

If it doesn't look cool, you're probably doing it wrong.

Re: Certification Exam Study Guide?

This is great. Thanks for finding the link Serenity Greenfield​!

I am one of the few who passed the exam during Summit.  I would say what really helped me was going through documents for each of the Marketo products, looking at any places where they might have highlighted tips etc. It used to be called "Core Concepts" on the old version of the community. But I think they're slowly building it up again on here: https://docs.marketo.com/


I think if you make sure you're familiar with all the complete levels of each of the products it will put you in a better place to take the exam.


I found that I passed 100 % on the areas of the exam where I went in and reviewed these pieces.

Re: Certification Exam Study Guide?

I'm currently working on the new 150 question pre-test... Seems like a mix of the old pretest (50 questions) and the actual exam from Summit (100 questions). MUCH better exercise, but I'm curious to know how this new pre-test holds up to the actual. Can anyone comment?

Re: Certification Exam Study Guide?

Hi Ayana, It looks like you answered Robb Barrett's original question, but somehow his question/comments come up as unanswered in this new community discussion forum when you search "Exam Prep" - doesn't look right, you may want to get that resolved. I'm studying hard, taking the exam July 1, wish me luck.
