How to Crack Databricks Certified Associate Developer for Apache Spark 3.0 Exam

This is My post I wrote it in Medium so I am sharing the same here

 

After clearing the Databricks certification a lot of people were asking me how to crack that examination. So, first of all, I would like to tell you that clearing any certificate(except CKD and its siblings, which are really tough) does not mean that you have to have proficiency in that particular exam or technology. You just need to have an overview or some familiarity with the topic or technology.

If you are aspiring to crack that particular examination so here are the points/guide on how to do so.

First, we have to understand the topic in that particular exam so below is some required information that you would need to know in the spark associate examination
