[kapil_rajoria]

Hi @seanrobinson , @ankitagarwal05, and fellow aspirants,

I'm Kapil Rajoria, an AEM Developer at To The New a.k.a TTN, where I've gained over two years of experience. TTN, being my first company, introduced me to AEM/AEC, and I've been honing my skills there by working with various clients. In the process, I've developed a keen interest in AEC and its related web technologies.

I chose to enroll in this program to grow and learn more about Adobe Analytics. I love taking on challenges, and I've been actively contributing to the Experience League community for over a year now.

I'm very much looking forward to great mentorship and support, and I promise to give my 100%.

[LoïcME]

Hello  @ankitagarwal05, @seanrobinson and all the other fellow aspirants,

I'm Loïc, I guess I'm the least experienced of the cohort. I'm digital analyst based in Paris, France. It's a year since I've started working with the Adobe tools (Tags, Analytics and Target) on a regular basis. My day-to-day work involves configuring rules to collect relevant data on my client's websites using Adobe Tags and implementing some A/B test too using Tags and Adobe Target.

I can't wait to learn alongside you all and considerably improve my adobe skills fairly enough to get certified.

Thank you

Thank you so much for sharing it

[ankitagarwal05]

Hello everyone, Nice to meet you all!

Let's start with a practice test of what we aim to achieve here and where we stand in our certification goal. 

Before I start posting the first tool kit, let's complete the following by Wednesday, July 31, 2024.

1. First, log in to the Adobe Credential Management System with your Adobe ID.
2. Then, go to the Adobe Certification Exam Prep Portal to find your practice test.
3. Search for Adobe Analytics Developer Certification (AD4-E213).
4. Start a new test in Training Mode.
5. Whenever you provide an incorrect answer, mark the error and verify the correct information in Adobe's official documentation.
6. If you can find the answer, that's great. If not, let's initiate a discussion for those questions.

So, this will go in parallel while we review and start our tool kit. All the best!

[kapil_rajoria]

Hi @ankitagarwal05 For now I have finished the test in training mode. I was able to correctly answer only a few questions as I am new to the analytics. For the wrong answers, I have read as much as possible from the official docs about the question topic (not going into much details). This is the correct way right?

[ankitagarwal05]

Hi @kapil_rajoria , yes that is the correct way. The practice test was just to give you a feel of which level of questions you can expect in the exam and how you can prepare them. 

You can go to this link which is the Exam preparation guide which we will be focusing on upcoming weeks. 

[InderpreetSin]

Hi @ankitagarwal05 

I enjoyed the task you assigned to us.

I have completed the practice test. The difficulty level of the questions was moderate. I must focus on the "Analytics in the Adobe Experience Cloud" section.

Currently, I do not have access to the Adobe Analytics environment. However, I will do my best to learn from the documentation and the official YouTube channel. If you have any better suggestions, please let me know.

Please advise on how I can improve my understanding of topics such as fpCookieDomainPeriods and Adobe Experience Cloud ID.

Thanks, Mentor!

[ankitagarwal05]

Hi @InderpreetSin 

Please use this link for preparation of this certification. Over the coming weeks, each section will be given its own emphasis for study and activities. You can definitely deep dive in the topics using Adobe Documentation and official YouTube channel, they are really helpful. 

For fpCookieDomainPeriods -

Adobe ECID - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/id-service/using/intro/overview 

Please review these documents and let me know if you have any questions or find anything difficult to understand.

[Achyuth19]

Hi @ankitagarwal05 , taking the mock test was helpful. I came close to passing the exam, and now I know where to focus to improve. I'll review the documentation to find solutions for the areas I missed, and if needed, I'll reach out to you for assistance.

[ankitagarwal05]
