kevincool,

I took the beta exam in january (105 questions, max 3h, combined developer & designer), I believe the current exam design is a bit different (max. 2 h, split developer / designer / adminstration, couldn't find an info about nr. of questions...).

The questions that you need to answer should be identical to the ones we got (that's what the beta exam was all about, testing and validating the exam questions).

The questions covered a pretty wide range of topics and difficulty, I think some can only be answered correctly if you really worked with the product for a certain amount of time (like which option to use for a specific feature, and as you know, option names don't need to be logical) and you are firm with QV syntax.

The test itself is all multiple choice.

I personally found it most difficult to answer all questions (not necessarily correctly) in the given time. Some questions included some lengthy text description or some graphics you need to analyze, and if you are not a english native speaker, you might start running out of time.

Good luck,

Stefan

hi,

i took Designer and developer certification (combined) testing last month and these are the answers:

1.where the questions come from

- part of Q/E are from course materials one got at clasroom training

- part of it are examples with shemas that is common BI and qlikview experience.

2.difficulty of questions

- from easy to difficult

watch over your time, because there are (trick) questions that are long to read and shemas that need to be solved.

Hi!

Could you, please, provide more feedback on the exam?

How many questions? I know the exam lasts 2 hours so, for me, it would be helpful to know the number of questions.

Do all the questions count the same or do some count more than others?

Thanks in advance,

Cristina

Hi Guys,

Not sure if you already know this, but to view types of questions asked (think you have to be a partner though),

From the QlikView site -> Partners -> Partner Portal -> Education -> Training -> Education -> Certification

Then on the right hand side under "Prepare for Exam", choose from Designer, Developer or Systems Administrator for more informaption on what to expect in the exam.

Hope this helps someone.

So it´s not enough with Developer course and Set Analysis tutorial? I have a year experience with qlikview, complex expressions in set analysis, especially thanks to the community , and I did the 'Tutorial' and 'Advanced Course', what do you think I should study apart of these things? Wich and where are all the training manuals ??

What about AccessPoint and QMEC? Are there questions about that?

All information will be appreciated.

José,

there are different exams for developer / designer and System Administrator (check also http://www.qlik.com/us/services/training/certification).

If you've worked a year with QV11, if most of the questions in the forum don't really take you much time to answer (or to understand the solution), if you have some technical / DB background, the designer / developer exam should not be a big problem (well, it's not a no brainer, but nothing to be scared about).

As with every multiple choice exam, read the questions carefully and watch your time.

If you have already some real world working experience, I personally wouldn't spend too much time on looking for tutorials or course materials.

I don't have much information about the System Administrator exam, if that's what you are interested in.

Regards,

Stefan

Stefan,

I was talking about developer exam.

Your words makes me more confident to do the exam, I will take care about the multiple choice, that´s my concern, especially because of the time to answer all the questions. It would be nice if there was a particular exam preparation to measure time of the schema questions that I assume are the longest.

Good luck to all that are going to take the exam!

Regards,

Jose

Don't worry about the time, it will be sufficient.No matter how big the schema question is, you can answer in no time(of course if you know the answer!)
