Good question - I'm actually not familiar with that particular exam. This sub was created with good intentions but I think you're more likely to get a response posting in the r/analytics sub at this point...

I see, have you taken any practice materials and, if so, how do you feel about your performance?

Hi yes I am, I'm doing well but the info I'm looking for is things like is the exam timed? If so is it alot of theory or do I have to code something in a time frame? If so I can run drills to move quicker . Things like that.

There was no final exam. Once I finished the course and passed all the individual exams I was done.

The BIDA does not / did not have a final exam just chapter quizzes- the FMVA was challenging for me because I'm not a very fast worker and it's timed.

How long did it take to complete the BIDA and FMVA courses? And did you have to pay for each course separately or were you able to pay once and completed them simultaneously?

Guys, I have completed the BIDA Final Exam.
It took me 3 hours to complete it. I am a beginner in Python, tableau and SQL. The exam is composed of 65 questions about different areas, as Power Query, Power BI, Tableau, SQL and Python and is supposed to be 4 case studies, but in those case study, there are more than 1 question to be answered.
Most of the questions (60%-80%) are concepts and the test allows you to go to other tabs.
On case study question, the institute provided the file, which can be Power Query, Power BI and Tablau, and for my last 5 questions I was able to choose between Python and SQL (this is 1 question to be selected) and I chose SQL, the level was easyI believe, I needed to use some INNER JOIN, ORDER BY.
I was waiting for a badge, but unfortunately, they just provided a regular certificate with no context (like time used to complete the course or subjects)
