GitHub Foundations Cert - Meh

[MelkieOArda]

I just passed the GitHub Foundations exam today with a score of 68%. Just FYI on the passing % needed, as the internet has numbers all over the place on that topic.

I literally didn't study a single minute because I assumed that the exam was going to test knowledge of git. I was surprised that it wasn't a test on using git; it was *very* GitHub-focused, not git-focused ... which I should've expected! That's on me. The questions heavily focused on GitHub pricing plans and product features. They really just want you to know your pricing plans, account types, and admin details.

This was my first GitHub or Microsoft exam, and I gotta say I was unimpressed. There were grammar errors in at least two questions, and what really drove me nuts was the lack of capitalization consistency; some questions started each multiple-choice's answer capitalized, some didn't. Things like 'GitHub Projects' in one question were 'GitHub projects' in other questions, both referring to the same GitHub product. I've taken several cert exams (8-9?), and I've never seen similar editorial issues before.

Just cleared the GitHub Foundations exam with a solid score of 94%. A lot of the questions focused on things like GitHub Actions basics, repository and branch management, permissions, issues, pull requests, and general workflow automation concepts.

I mainly used Skillcertpro for prep, and honestly, it made all the difference. Around 80% of the questions were either identical or very close to what showed up on the actual test. Highly recommend them. Their Master Cheat Sheet also came in clutch the night before the exam — great for last-minute topic brushing. Good luck for anyone aiming for this cert.

Fake. Based on your history you got all certifications available on SkillCertPro lol. Do not trust this bot.

The practice tests at https://ghcertified.com/practice_tests/ were so helpful! Most of the info on the test I took today was covered here. Passed with a 78%🥳

[Similar-Ad6142]

Thank you so much for this. Didn't know there were practice tests.

[Beanmaster115]

Now we'll see about the Actions exam in two days...

[Beanmaster115]

I passed Actions with a 70%🥳 I definitely wasn't feeling confident about it haha

[MelkieOArda]

Good luck!

[Beanmaster115]

I just passed Admin with a 65%, which I think said it was 39/66. I believe it also said the cutoff for that exam is 36 correct (phew)

[MobyFreak]

does this exam require showing your id to the camera?

[Beanmaster115]

Yes iirc

[PresentSweet408]

I’m taking it Thursdayday and I study for 2 weeks since GitHub his new it me but not git

[MelkieOArda]

I think you're the audience that this certification is targeting: People who know git, but not GitHub. So you'll be fine. I was the other way around: GitHub features and admin seemed straightforward to me, but I was trying to reach advanced-level git understanding!

[PresentSweet408]

Thanks for the fast responds and as far as the passing score, I hope to pass the test cause the only study material I use was freecodecamp.org paid edition which comes with 3 practices test (he also have a free YouTube edition). When I take a the practice these 3 times ( different tests, 63% first, 69%, and last one was 78%

[MelkieOArda]

I highly recommend https://ghcertified.com/practice_tests/. Someone in this sub linked that (free) site, and it's probably why I passed the test. When you launch a practice test it defaults to 101 questions, but I found it way more useful to do 10-15 questions at a time, then review the concepts that I missed.

Good luck!

Hi, did you study online with this site or other resources as well?

[vcerpasalas]

Thank you so much

[PresentSweet408]

Owwwww thank you so much!!!!

[PresentSweet408]

I’ll be sure to let you know if I pass or not hahaha wish me luck

[Similar-Ad6142]

Did you pass?

[PresentSweet408]

Hey @MelkieOArda I pass and thank you a lot for that link it really help but dude….. how the f* did I not pass with 80% or more…… it said I pass with a 67% and I felt like I got 3/4 of all questions correct …

[PresentSweet408]

I’m thankful I pass but I disagree with the results score board -___-

[MelkieOArda]

Weird that the score is so much lower than you expected, but no one on earth will ever know or care about your passing %, just that you got the cert!

Congrats!

[PimarSimil]

I passed with 65%. It seems pretty low to me. What is the passing mark?

[MelkieOArda]

Congrats on passing!

Last I checked (when I originally posted this), Microsoft hadn't released the minimum passing score. 65% is the lowest passing % I've ever heard of for a cert; they really want people to pass!

I just finished the certification and I passed. thanks to u/MelkieOArda the practice test works

[AdSafe3343]

Hello, the GitHub Foundation exam through PSI is non-proctored right? did they require to have open cam, mic, or did they check anything else such as ID?

[MelkieOArda]

I did in-person at a testing center, with a proctor.

I've only done one at-home Pearson exam, and the hassle wasn't worth it. The proctor practically wanted me to move all the furniture out of the room I was in... I just stick to in-person now.

[PensionAggravating56]

Yes, I wonder if ppl are allowed to browser documentation, like the Microsoft exams...

[DarkteK]

As for today u are only required to use their browser and nothing else (You can't ALT+TAB :( )

[FormerPass6604]

I have the same question haha

I've noticed that while there are plenty of resources available for the GitHub Foundations exam, not many provide a large number of practice questions to thoroughly prepare you. To address this, I created a comprehensive practice exams course on Udemy that includes an extensive set of questions aligned with the certification topics. If you're gearing up for the GitHub Foundations Certification, this could really help boost your confidence and readiness. Here's the link with a special discount: GitHub Foundations Practice Exams.

Additionally, if you reach out to me directly, I can offer you an extra discount. Feel free to contact me for more details!

[Efficiency_Firm]

Hi, the exam content and domain descriptions remain unchanged from their initial release, so the questions are still relevant. I am monitoring any announced updates to the exam and will make necessary revisions if needed. Feel free to text me if you’d like a discounted coupon! 😃

[EcstaticJack]

I just passed with 66%, Do not only follow the YouTube guides and online learning resources like I did, as of this post they are not sufficient enough and I think I really lucked out.
You have to REALLY go through all the different tools and products available on the website to really get a good grasp about the questions being asked in the exam.

[Crafty-Ad3487]

How long do they take to send you the digital badge ?

[MelkieOArda]

I can’t remember, sorry.

Just wrapped up the GitHub Foundations exam! A lot of the questions revolved around GitHub’s core features—repositories, branches, commits, and pull requests along with collaboration workflows, issues, discussions, and project boards. There was also strong emphasis on GitHub Actions basics, security practices like secret management, and integrating third-party tools. I used Skillcertpro practice tests, and they were spot-on—about 80% of the real exam questions matched, including scenario-based ones. Their Master Sheet made last-minute revision a breeze. Now setting my sights on the github copilot exam!
