Any tips for practice exams?</P><P>Thanks!</P> Sat, 18 Oct 2025 14:02:01 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/certifications/databricks-certification-booking-slot-while-taking-partner/m-p/135332#M3806 sai_sakhamuri 2025-10-18T14:02:01Z https://community.databricks.com/t5/certifications/databricks-certification-booking-slot-while-taking-partner/m-p/135333#M3807 <P>From my experience everything is independent from each other <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span>&nbsp;</P> Sat, 18 Oct 2025 14:40:42 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/certifications/databricks-certification-booking-slot-while-taking-partner/m-p/135333#M3807 Hubert-Dudek 2025-10-18T14:40:42Z
