ferricoxideLate yesterday morning, I sat my #GCP #ACE test. The process for signing up for the sitting suuuuuuuuuuuuucked – and, unlike when you finish your #AWS certification tests, there's no survey questions about how easy it was to schedule your GCP test.
One of my project-mates had sat his ACE test this Friday past. I think he did the take-at-home test …which I think Google and #WebAssessor both really expect you to do. He got his pass/fail notifcation a few hours later.
I, however, prefer to take tests in person at a testing facility, due to a couple reasons:
1. My house is small and is quite cluttered, both due to who I'm married to and not having enough storage space. At any rate, on prior attempts to use home-based testing, some test-vendors have deemed my workroom as "too cluttered"
2. There's two testing centers within a 4-minute drive of my house. They're actually both on the same street, it's just that for the one, I need to turn right at the last major intersection, whereas I need to turn left for the other.
3. In order to test at home, I typically have to install the testing-vendor's "secure browser" and I don't like installing vendor-specific software – that can often amount to malware – on my laptop
4. Further, for testing at home, I typically have to (re)enable my laptop's camera and microphone …which is something I'm really averse to, possibly even more than installing vendor-specific testing-software
so I've generally opted to go to a testing-center, since there's two withing a 4min drive of my house.
Not only did my results not com in last night, they still hadn't arrived when I checked my email throughout this morning. Further, when I checked the two (seriously, Google???) sites I'd had to work with to purchase/schedule my exam, neither was showing any evidence that I'd even sat my exam, let alone a pass/fail indicator. I don't know if my choosing to take my test at a testing facility was responsible/contributory or not, but my results (I passed) didn't arrive until a couple minutes ago.
Oh well, at least one more exam to study for, scheduled, sit and (hopefully on the first sitting) pass.
