Hi @mairwal21, what resources have you covered already?

Important topics to remember for exam include managing Google Cloud resources, configuring access and security, monitoring and logging, and deploying and implementing Google Cloud services

I used Skillcertpro practice tests for my Google Associate Cloud Engineer exam preparation and found them to be very close to the actual exam content. On their mock exams, I consistently scored around 80%, which translated well to my performance on the official test.

One of the things I appreciated most was their bi-weekly updates and the detailed explanations for every question. This really helped me grasp the concepts better. Their exam notes were also a crucial part of my preparation strategy they outline the important services and their usecases.

Based on my experience, I recommend scheduling your exam only if you're consistently scoring above 85% on Skillcertpro's mock exams. This really tests your readiness, and if you're hitting those scores, you should be well-prepared for the main exam

Here are a few tips and recommendations to help you with your preparation:

1. Familiarize yourself with the exam structure: The Google Associate Cloud Engineer exam consists of multiple-choice and multiple-select questions. It is a 2-hour long exam with 50-60 questions.

2. Get hands-on experience: It is important to have hands-on experience working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to understand the concepts and effectively answer the exam questions. If you don't have access to a GCP account, you can sign up for a free trial or use the GCP emulator.

3. Review the exam guide: The Google Cloud Platform exam guide provides details on the exam objectives and topics. Make sure to go through it and understand the key concepts and skills that will be tested.

4. Make use of resources: There are many resources available to help you prepare for the exam. The official Google Cloud training courses, documentation, and whitepapers are great sources of information. You can also find websites, practice tests, and study guides online to help you prepare.

5. Focus on key topics: While it is important to have a broad understanding of all the exam topics, make sure to give extra attention to key areas such as GCP Storage, Networking, Compute, and Security.

6. Take practice tests: Taking practice tests will help you familiarize yourself with the exam format and give you an idea of the type of questions that might be asked. MyExamCloud, offers a comprehensive set of practice tests and study materials for the Google Associate Cloud Engineer exam.

7. Time management: During the exam, make sure to manage your time effectively. If you come across a difficult question, don't spend too much time on it. Move on and come back to it later if you have time left.

Lastly, don't stress too much and have confidence in your preparation. Best of luck for your exam!
