Here is a list of a few practice exams worth checking out: There are a couple of courses out there that provides mock exams or practice exams, I found these extremely helpful throughout my preparation phase. The best way to practice is to do a few Makeover Monday challenges and use Tableau e-learning and follow along.

As I have mentioned before, the current exam version does not test on relationships. Use Tableau Desktop on a variety of different data sources and practice data joins, unions and blending. The best way to prepare though is through experience. I would also recommend going through the prep guide for more links to preparation material. I would highly recommend the Tableau How-To Training Videos, I have picked up a few things going through them that helped me understand some things a little better.

So, it is a good idea to download the version of Tableau Desktop that the exam will be using. This is important as newer versions of Tableau have a few new features (like relationship connections and map layers) that does not exist in the exam version. The cost, the suggested training, suggested experience time with Tableau and most importantly the version of Tableau Desktop the exam is currently testing on. On the next page, you will see details on the exam you have chosen. For the purposes of this blog, I will be focusing on the Tableau Desktop Certified Associate exam. The Tableau Desktop Certified Specialist is the beginner exam, the Tableau Desktop Certified Associate is the advanced exam, and the Tableau Desktop Certified Expert is of course the expert exam. Three for Tableau Desktop and two for Tableau Server.

In this blog, I will discuss my personal experience preparing and taking the exam. The Tableau Desktop Certified Associate certification is one of them. Here at The Data School, we must complete a few certifications in the initial four-month training phase. It is a huge part of my everyday life along with Alteryx. Now, I cannot imagine my life without it. Before I started at The Data School Down Under (around 9 weeks ago), I have never heard about or used Tableau before. I have been anxiously waiting for four weeks now to be able to write this blog.
