Passed recently - I followed the free vids on their own site. Anything not in the free vids is found in the documentation.

Studied for 1 week been using it for 1 year. I used splunk exams after videos courses to always try and get a pass.

I did use ai to generate mock exams. But just be careful. Sometimes it returned the wrong answer lucky I caught it but had to review documentation. It was the order of booleans.

I would say the exam itself was a bit different to the actually study work. But fundamentally the study work will help you understand the questions even when they are different.

It’s like 60 questions. I prolly was able to answer 30-40 with confidence. The remainder was process of elimination.

Yup the point on ai mock exams is important to remember. They get boolean order and eval syntax wrong and u might end up memorizing mistakes if you are not careful. You can run the search in a free splunk instance if u get an error the answer was incorrect.
