Thanks @BS_THE_ANALYST ! Absolutely, family comes first! It sounds like you’ve had a full plate lately with the move and getting your brother settled - big respect for handling all of that. 😄
And for sure! I’ll try to prepare a list of best practices for anyone preparing for the Databricks Professional Engineer exam.
If you’re aiming for the DE Associate, I think it’s sufficient to follow the Databricks Academy Data Engineering Learning Path. Focus primarily on the notebooks - read every comment carefully, because some of the answers to exam questions can be found there!

Also, check Derar Alhussein test exam. He's currently updating the content and his question are really similar to the ones in real exam

Keep me posted on your progress! 🙌
