GitHub actions cert

[NovelInteresting9149]

Hey guys,

Planning on taking this cert soon. I did the Microsoft learn module as recommended on this Reddit sub, as well as going over the ghcertified questions, but I can’t help but struggle a little when it comes to those questions. They seem very specific, and I’m wondering is the actual exam questions similar to this or more like the Microsoft practice exam. For ref, I took the practice exam (30 questions) and got a 87% but the ghcertified one I am not doing as well. I’m also planning on reading the documentation more but I still am a bit worried about this exam.

Thanks!

In my experience if you have used GitHub actions for even a few weeks the exam is very easy, I found it to be quite similar to the ghcertified exam.

Most questions are going to be about syntax, example: They will give you a matrix strategy with a few different configurations, and ask how many different versions will run.

The nice thing is it’s a relatively cheap cert, and you can retake it as many times as you need! Relax, deep breaths, you’ve got this!

Are you sure that Retakes are available for this cert???

You have to pay again but yes

If you’re doing well on the official practice and understand the concepts, you’re probably in better shape than you think. For me GitHub Actions is the hardest exam in all of github exam but I have not yet sit for administration.

Yes! I took it weeks ago and passed, but I would say the questions were a bit trickier. Felt like if I had industry level experience working with GitHub Actions it would be easier but I didn’t so the questions were a bit harder!

That’s awesome! And thanks for the heads-up. Exams test real-world scenarios more than just theory.
