Hello, Dariusz! I commend you on your deliberate and perseverant study! 👍 And I appreciate you writing up your study path so others can draw from it for their own learning journeys. And your tips about being very careful about the exam question wording is also very important! I will happily link to your post from my Exam Report Mega-Thread, so others can benefit from it.
(As an aside, exam question strategy like this is something I covered in my Cert Prep Guide course–in particular, in the "Strategy" lectures. I know that course talks about AWS, but the vast majority of it applies directly to GCP, too.)
One thing I wasn’t entirely clear on, though: Are you describing your study, so far, or have you already taken the ACE exam a second time and passed it that time? 🙂 Well, if you did pass, then Congratulations! 😃🎉 And if you haven’t, yet, then I’m sure you will, soon enough. (Oh, and if you haven’t, then I think you would get a lot of value from going through my Cert Prep Guide course that I mentioned, above.)
Thanks, again!

Hi Mattias.
I did pass as soon as I read the questions 3-5 times and did read the Google documentation as well as did the ACG courses.
It was kind of same day when I have posted this comment to make people aware that there is a lot of studying before going to the actual ACE exam.
Alright! Congrats, then, Dariusz! 👏 I’m really glad you tried again and took it down. 👍
And you are indeed correct that this is no trivial cert. You really do need to dig into things and actively work through the stuff beyond just watching some videos.
Also, had you already taken this ACE course before your first attempt? If so, are there any things I could have better-emphasized–anything that you think might have helped you pass on the first go?
Thanks!
