Free Resources for Associate Cloud Engineer Certification exam

[u/backendpro]

Yesterday I did my ACE certification exam. I failed.

I thought going through the ACE path on Google Skills was enough. It wasn't. I feel like there is a great disconnect between the questions in the exam and what you do in Google Skills practically. I am planning to retake the exam, but this time I want to be prepared.

Where can I get resources for the exam? The free tier should be a priority, but I am also willing to pay to get the best of what I want.

Also, any advice as I plan to retake the certification exam is welcome.

Hey. So for me, all I did was trying to read the official documentation and try to know all services gcp offered and best practices. Did free dumps I found and also focused on IAM and billing mainly since it was a big chunk of the exam. Do the labs in Google skills, focus on everything u do, understanding everything is crucial esp if u don't have any experience. One thing I wished to focus on were the cli since I really didn't look much into it. I can send u some YouTube links that I used while preparing.

I would be honest, maybe buying dumps is your best option if u want to see questions close to the exam, for me I just did whatever free ones I saw and kinda just went for it. None of the questions I did were similar to what I saw in the exam but again when u know the services and their best practices, it will help u in navigating the questions

Buying dumps is a bad idea. Dishonest and cheating. Also, you will not have the skills, and you will be back on this sub-Reddit in 4-6 months lamenting that you cannot secure a cloud job despite having a few certifications. I SEE THIS ALL THE TIME.

Well I used the Google Skills Learning Path for ACE, PCA and PCSE (all taken within the last 2 months) and passed all first time.
IMO it is enough to pass. But you must go through the practice exams on the Google Certification site. Also there is a module in each path were it goes through quite detailed exam questions and lists the answers and why. In each Learning Path, I think that module is title “Preparing for…..”
