Hello @Gagandeep_Walia , @Jon_Chen 

It was quite disheartening to see the message about the 16-question practice exam only yesterday. This information was not communicated through email or any other means that would engage us in the preparation process, which is what I had expected from @Gagandeep_Walia . 

Given that the program is closing today and we have not had the chance to start our preparation (despite my attempts to revive the process through emails, LinkedIn messages, and posts on this page), I would like to ask if it is possible for us to continue working with the mentor after the program officially ends. @Jon_Chen , @Gagandeep_Walia ?

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,
Yuliya

Hi @yuliya_yakovlev ,

The current point of conversation was only through here and the slack channel that @Jon_Chen and Adobe had configured. None of the aspirants really provided times to meet on a call or wanted to schedule time so was unsure if anyone was interested. 

That isn't required as part of this program but i do prefer facetime, but did not hear anything back so I just posted the questions here. Let me get with Jon and circle back regarding continuation. 

[Gagandeep_Walia]

Hi Everyone.

Here is a good place for me to get a gauge of where everyone's skillset is: This is a sample/example questions set. 16 questions for each of the categories: https://scorpion.caveon.com/launchpad/ad0-e556-adobe-marketo-engage-architect-master-exam-copy-pewwl... 

This well help establish a baseline, and we can expand from there. Please take this and post your results for each section here! 

I'll also be sending out a invite for 30 mins weekly via a zoom to walk through the questions as well. If you can attend let me know!

Hi @Gagandeep_Walia , @Jon_Chen ! 

I am concerned that I might have missed something important. Have our exam preparation calls already started? I'm worried that we are nearing the end of the program, and we haven't begun yet.

Best regards,
Yuliya
