Exam prep tips

Build in a real workspace. The exam rewards hands-on understanding. Build at least one multi-channel Canvas with branching, a delay, and a conversion event before you sit it.

Know attributes vs events cold. Modelling questions — when something is a user attribute versus a custom event, and how that drives segments and triggers — come up repeatedly.

Practise Liquid with fallbacks. Be comfortable writing personalised content with default values so a missing attribute doesn’t break the message.

Understand measurement. Know the difference between in-message engagement and incremental impact measured with a holdout — it shows up in the reporting questions.
