Hello,

I am not seeing a lot of information regarding the Databricks Certified Professional Data Scientist

exam. I took the Associate Developer in Apache Spark Exam last year and the materials for the exam seemed much more focused than what I found for this exam....

What kind of questions can I expect on the exam? will there be computational questions or will the question be more theoretical? Is reading the recommended textbook (Introduction to Statistical Learning and Elements of Statistical Learning) enough to do well on the exam? Additionally, I'm seeing on the FAQ doc for the certification that the test will not have any programming aspects and will instead be focused on ML and data science theory. If this is the case, why is the Learning Spark textbook a part of the recommended reading?
