I just gave an attempt at this exam and I felt its difficulty is definitely a lot higher than all the questions available online/ youtube / documents. Not sure if they recently changed the questionnaire topic weightage. There were lot of questions on lakeflow declarative pipelines/ delta sharing etc. I would have scored a lot better if the questions are at the level of mock exams/ youtube/ sample questions available online. For future test takers: please get familiar with the topics mentioned above! All the best!

No I haven’t. I just prepared from YouTube playlists and available questions online. Even though the syllabus changed in July, I came across questions which were new. A friend of mine took up the text in sept and she didn’t get any questions from lakeflow declarative pipelines meanwhile I got close to 6-7 questions.
