\
**Exam specific information:**

\
**✓** Multiple-choice questions will be asked (Multiple Choice Question).

\

\
\
## **Exam Pro Tip:**

\
* There's a good probability that the question will be based on the data and statistics presented. You will have an advantage if you have some basic Drupal understanding.

  \
* One of the most important things is time management. Spend no more than 1.5 minutes on a question.

  \
* A good or intermediate command of the English language is required. Because the exam is being conducted in the United States, the paper language is at that level.

  \
* The majority of questions are not straightforward, but having a good command of the English language might assist you in understanding the technique behind the question and determining the proper alternative.

  \
* Arrive at the examination hall at least an hour or half an hour ahead of time. If you're taking an online exam, be sure you have a webcam set up on your computer.

  \
* Listen to music and relax instead of studying or preparing for the exam 2-4 hours before the exam.

  \
* There are also two exam retakes available.

\
## **Exam Preparation:**

There is no other mantra for passing such an exam except:

\
## **Practice! Practice! And then there's Practice!**

\
According to this link: <https://cohesiondocs.acquia.com/6.1/user-guide/getting-started>, which contains the course specifics and documentation, you must study all of the documents thoroughly without skipping any minor details.

\
Even `Pro Tips, such as Green Background Color Tips`, or `Alerts, such as Yellow Background Color Tips`, are crucial.

\
You may ensure that you will not fail the exam by thoroughly reading the documentation and comprehending it. 

\
Understanding the question is very crucial, because even a simple question can be complicated, and all alternatives appear to be correct at first glance.

\
\
> *As the saying goes, theory teaches us nothing, but real*
>
> *experiences help us comprehend things better.*

\
Acquia has followed this principle, and unexpectedly, Acquia has provided us with a sample account to practice the things listed in the literature, and it's pretty simple to set up. We'll go over how to do so later, but first, remember that:

\
> \
> *Not only should you read the documentation, but you should also practice on a demo account.*
>
> \

\
While practicing in the sandbox or on a sample account, make sure you master the cohesion menus and their step-by-step process. There's a chance they'll inquire about where you can get the X module. Where can you view the Y functionality, for example? It doesn't matter what X and Y are.

\
## **How to Plan for Preparation:**

\
**1.** First, focus on the area of the syllabus that has the lowest percentage of students. Follow the steps in the practical technique, study the documentation, and test in a sandbox account. The steps to create a sandbox account are outlined below.

\
**2.** Then, one by one, work your way through the syllabus, starting with the lowest percentage syllabus and working your way up to the highest percentage syllabus.

\
**3.** If you follow practical techniques and devote at least 4–5 hours to studying this module, you should be able to prepare for the exam in around 15–30 days.

\
**4.** When you've finished with everything, practice configuring components and templates with Drupal View, as most scenario-based questions come from this module.

\

\

\
**3.** In a sandbox account, create a Demo blog section, header template, menu templates, components, and play around with settings; the more you experiment, the better you understand.

\
**4.** Remember that the exam questions are the trickier portion, therefore having a good grasp of the English language will be beneficial.

\
**5.** Never do any studying the night before an exam. Simply relax and take it all in.

\
**6.** There will be multiple choice and single choice questions, with a total exam time of 60 minutes and 40 questions. There will be no negative marking.

\
**7.** Always read the question twice before choosing an answer, because most of the time all of the answers appear to be correct.

\
**8.** Never underestimate a two-word sentence; you never know when it will become a question, and you will need to respond.

\
**9.** Finally, repeat step 1 on a daily basis. Point 1 will assist you in a case where you are stuck and have no idea what to do; it is the most basic portion of the module.
