Anyone taken the AD0 E555 certification lately, how is the current version of the test

[Jacksonj3]

Hi everyone,

I am beginning my prep for the Adobe AD0 E555 Adobe Customer Journey Analytics Architect exam and would like to get a sense of what the exam is like for people who have attempted it recently. I am trying to understand which areas matter most. Here are a few things I am unsure about:

• Does the exam focus more on real world data design challenges or on high level platform concepts
• How comfortable should I be with data views, schemas, identity stitching, connections, and analysis workflows
• Did you find any topics that were deeper or more technical than what the official exam guide implies
• Which study materials prepared you best for the question style and scenarios

Any insight from recent test takers would be valuable.

Hi @Jacksonj3, 

Don't get confused with the numbers Customer journey analytics has currently three types of exams: 

• ADO -E604 Adobe Customer Journey Analytics Developer Expert
• ADO -E610 Adobe Customer Journey Analytics Developer Professional
• ADO E-608 Adobe Customer Journey Analytics Business Practitioner Professional

I would recommend you to follow the study guides of the links, take into account that the exam is based on possible real scenarios and depending on the exam that you decide to take there will be more technical questions or more business ones. 

If you got further questions I will recommend you to post the on the analytics community.

Hope this information helps you. 

Best, 

Celia

Completely agree with Celia. That said, this is not the right forum to post this subject.

@Sukrity_Wadhwa can this be moved to the appropriate forum?

Thanks,
Craig

I took AD0-E555 a few months ago. It’s mostly scenario-based not trivia. You’re usually given a business problem and asked how you’d model or analyze it in CJA. Less “what does this button do” and more “what’s the right approach.” You should be very comfortable with:

• schemas vs datasets
• data views (metrics, dimensions, filters)
• connections + how data actually gets into CJA
• identity stitching (when it works, when it doesn’t)

Nothing crazy technical like SQL, but the exam assumes you’ve actually worked in CJA, not just read docs. Biggest surprise for me was how often data modeling decisions came up e.g. “where should this field live” or “why would this report be wrong.” Segments and identity stuff came up more than I expected. Best prep was honestly reading Adobe docs (esp data views + stitching), building stuff in a sandbox and working through practice questions that I got from CertBoosters, thinking why an answer is right. If you’ve designed CJA implementations in real life, you’ll feel fine. If not, the exam can feel tricky even if you know the terms.
