Google Cloud Network Engineer Exam Experience: Fail-Fast. Learn. Pass.

Woop Woop! Achievement unlocked!

I feel this was the hardest exam I have completed yet, across both AWS and GCP cloud platform certifications I earned to date. Learned the hard way I may have, and I have learned the most important fact — Documentation is King. Read Documentation you must. That and Yoda-talk never gets old. But truly, It’s the level of skill you must bring, — R.T.F.M. aka Read the Documentation, Make sense of it, Make it relevant in practice, and bring that knowledge home.

I have passed this exam, and shamelessly so, on the second attempt.

The consolation prize I can take away is that I didn’t feel that I was guessing, I felt I knew the content well this time. Thorough Docs-delving preparation does go a long way.

How was the exam?

It was not easy that’s for sure. Quite far from it.
