Welcome to ACE Study Buddies! We’re kicking off a one-month study session, during which we’ll dive deep into topics covered in the ACE certification exam study guide. Thinking about registering for the exam? Great! Not interested in ACE? Also great! The topics we’ll cover apply to exam prep and the real world.
Here’s what you get:
- No-cost access to valuable learning resources including labs, Q&A, and curated content.
- No-cost access to earning four skill badges, a Google Cloud credential.
- A Study Buddy badge, exclusively for participating in the inaugural study buddy month.
Plus you’ll have an opportunity to join a team of study buddies to help each other share resources, stay motivated, and grow your personal network.
Get started
Here’s how to participate:
- Join the game!
- Use this code to join: 1q-study-458
- Choose your team. (Thanks to @ashikravindran, @Babar_Ali and @Abhishek213 for the team names!)
NOTE: You cannot change teams after you join, so choose carefully!
- Start a lab and play the game!
NOTE: You’ll notice some of the game items are unavailable. We’ll activate each one over the coming weeks.
- Come back to GCC and find your study group’s thread. Introduce yourself and meet your teammates! (Completely optional and just for fun.) (And to make things even simpler, here are the threads for the Cloud Acers, Cloud Brainstormers, and Cloud Stars!)
This is challenging
You’ll notice the labs in this particular game are, well, challenging. Here are a few different ways to approach the challenge labs:
- Find the skill badges associated with each challenge lab, and explore. You can usually piece together the solution based on the other labs in the skill badge!
- Check with your study buddies. Are they having trouble too? Sometimes two brains are better than one.
- If you don’t solve it on your first try, that’s OK. You can try it again, and get a little further on each attempt.
Good luck!
