It’s a lot of material to cover but the exam is more about being tricky with the way they word the questions. I would give yourself 6-8 weeks to go through all of the chapters of the Rita book but the most helpful thing for me was taking practice tests/practice questions.

I am interested in pursuing this cert as well. How soon after a boot camp should you test?

Thanks!

If you are a good tester, study for several weeks and knock it out. If not, it will be tougher to pass and you may need a boot camp.

Very challenging but with enough practice on multiple quizzes, you can do it. I did the same..

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?

Does anyone become more jaded towards their company / being in consulting by being on this app / seeing what is posted in their company bowl?
