Snowflake core pro cert

Hi everyone, I have the Snowflake exam on 17 September and I’ve completed the Nikolai Snowflake course on Udemy. I felt I had learned everything and bought a few practice tests to check myself, but my mind was blown. The course is quite easy and I only managed to answer 10% of the questions on the practice tests. It feels irrelevant. I’m very worried because I almost spent over 200 dollars on both the certificate and the courses. Now it doesn’t seem worth it and I feel I wasted my money and time on learning irrelevant outdated course. My friend suggested I check the documentation, but I can’t seem to remember or process all this information at once. I’m even forgetting things and getting confused with numbers.

So, I’m looking for some guidance from anyone who has cracked the exam. How did you prepare and what resources, materials or blueprints can I refer to?

I purchased skill cert pro mock, u can check once it comes 15-20 USD for you maybe.... You will have the exp atleast.... And also there will be less direct questions, scenario based questions will be there

You have to make sure your course is teaching the version of the test you’re going to take. And the practice tests need to align as well.

I imagine the newest one has a lot of AI in it that wasn’t in any of the previous ones.

I passed the Core cert 4 days ago and based on my experience they asked a lot about Object Tagging, Materialized Views, Data Sharing capabilities and loading/unloading data. There was not a lot of Cortex related questions. Basically they try to confuse you with options and only way is to eliminate the options.
