Preparing for your exam
Adobe recommends that you have 150 hours of experience with the Creative Cloud application before taking its certification exam. These hours can come from hands-on experience, courses and other tutorials.
One of the best ways to study is by purchasing a practice test. If you have done so, keep an eye out for an email from the convention team with your practice test code and further instructions. Please allow up to 2-3 weeks for processing.
Adobe also provides an exam guide for each application.
What to expect
Each exam includes 30-45 questions that must be completed in 50 minutes. Questions include selected-response items and activities that challenge you to solve problems using the Creative Cloud application.
