Hi @abhinavpuri - quick question please. I see the exam prep guide mentions Data Workbench. But as far as I understand Data Workbench has been retired. Do we still need to know this for the exam?

[abhinavpuri]

Hi @Nicole_Ned_SA ,

Adobe Workbench is retired December 31, 2023, so I assume there should not be any related questions, however I can check to confirm this with Adobe team. It might also depend on last time exam was refreshed.

[Nicole_Ned_SA]

Hi @abhinavpuri - me again apologies. For the sample questions exam, can we take this more than once? I would like to take it initially to understand where I am lacking and need to focus. I would then like to take it again after I have studied further. Is there a limit to the number of times?

[abhinavpuri]

Hi @Nicole_Ned_SA ,

Absolutely you can take sample question exam more than once. Feel free to attempt once and determine sections to focus on based upon results.

Good Luck!
