I have taken it and passed it. I also helped someone study for it and they passed first time. She studied about 3 hours a week for 4 weeks and passed it. Do you need more information?
Thats great congratulations that you passed it, may be you can help me also coz I really want to pass the exam. Any information you can share with me will be very helpful and appreciated.
I thought the test was pretty hard, But I started to study for it before I really got my hands dirty in adwords. The more comfortable with the system you are the easier I think it will be for you. Have you been to the Adwords Learning Center? http://www.google.com/adwords/learningcenter/
Are you a user of adwords? If not definitely setup and account and have a play around with the interface. As far as learning the information to pass the exam it's in the learning centre. A lot information like what kind of credit cards they accept is stuff you have to read and learn. But you'll be surprised how much information you pick up just by reading it a couple of times. I think as with most exams if you 'understand' rather that have just memorised the information it helps answer the questions. And ... if all else fails... just retake the exam. Good luck
Also, Its $50 dollars each time you take the test and there are questions about other countries, CC information and multi-lingual campaigns that you may never use, but I think its a good idea to not miss an easy question because you didn't take the time to look.
Its pretty easy exam. I passed it. Make sure you cover all the material and take all the sample questions/tests.
Yup thanks to all of you, but in order to qualify for the exam one must anage at least one AdWords account (yours or someone else's) in My Client Center for 90 days and build and maintain at least US$1,000 (or your local currency equivalent) total spend for your or your team's My Client Center account during the 90-day period. What if one doesn't have this one yet??? Does this mean one can not take the exam??? What does one has to do???
If you pass the exam you will get access to your GAP Logo once you have qualified on the point in the previous post, i.e managing a client center account for 90 days with a spend of US$1'000 in that 90 day period. Make sure that you sign up for the exam with a client center account. 180
I just passed the exam on friday. Tips: Have google help centre open and adwords account open when your're doing the test. If you have enough time at the end you can try to research the answers. If you can get 80% plus on the quizzes in the learning centre then you will do ok. Good Luck.
Just do all the quizzes in the Learning Center until you get them right. You'll find that there's more "practical" type questions in the exam whereas the quizzes in the learning center are more to test knowledge rather than application
I also think that doing quizzes in the Learning Center is crucial. Many questions in the exam are identical to them. I've also read a web-site of some guy from Pakistan, who described his exam experience. For some reason I cannot access it right now, but here is the link to the cashed version of his site
