This is a really complex certification exam. I am preparing myself for it (again, because I failed it for a few points in the past) and I thought that a list of the free resources I am using could be helpful for other people that are preparing it too. This is the first part of the materials I suggest to prepare for the certification exam
The list of the skills measured (at the end of this post) is based on the exam guide below shows the changes that will be implemented on November 24, 2021
