Hi @saurabh280188 

If you're preparing for the Databricks Data Analyst certification, my suggestion is to avoid trying to study random materials from different places, because that usually makes preparation much more confusing.

The best path is to start with the official certification page and exam guide, since Databricks clearly outlines the topics expected in the exam: https://www.databricks.com/learn/certification/data-analyst-associate

For structured learning, Databricks Academy is the right place, as the official training content is aligned with the certification objectives: https://academy.databricks.com

I’d also strongly recommend getting hands-on practice instead of only reading documentation. The Databricks Free Edition is perfect for this and gives you a real environment to practice with: https://www.databricks.com/learn/free-edition

Spend some time actually creating SQL queries, building dashboards, testing alerts, exploring visualizations, and getting comfortable with the Databricks SQL experience. That practical familiarity helps a lot during the exam.

Stick to the official path, practice consistently, and your preparation will feel much more focused.

Good luck!
