Helpful Advice for Passing the Test

• Create a schedule: The ADE course book contains almost 400 pages. Expect to spend about 30–40 hours preparing after completing the training courses. Do not leave too long a gap between completing the courses and preparing for the test. Note that additional features in the appendix are not examinable, but the Tips section is.
• Safety in numbers: If possible, set up a study group to help meet deadlines and to support each other.
• Know the test objectives: The objectives are closely aligned with the content of the training course. Copy them to a spreadsheet and mark them off as you review and practice each skill.
• Be systematic: Review the lesson in the course book, complete the exercise, then review the relevant developer documentation for an alternative explanation.
• Make summary notes: Summarise key UIM elements, build commands, and the purpose of each application navigation file.
• Get hands-on practice: Actively practice the skills you'll be tested on — aim to spend as much time practicing as studying. Use the lab for CUR090 or CUR092 – Merative Cúram Development Environment 8.X: Sandbox.
• Challenge your understanding: Complete the Cúram V8.X ADE Accreditation Preparation – Mini Project: C004_Preparation_Mini_Project.pdf
• Are you ready? Take the Knowledge Assessment in Moodle (20 random questions from a pool of 45, up to 5 attempts). Ten sample test questions are here: C004_SampleTestQuestions.pdf. Take Practice Test P004 at least four days before the actual test.
• When taking the test: Read all information in the question. Use prompts like "Which three…" to help select or reject options. Do a quick first pass and answer easier questions first. Trust your first answer in general.
• How did you do? After the test you will receive a score report by section. If you do not pass the first time, don't give up — many people take two or more attempts.
