I know about how the exam is conducted. What I wanted to know is, the difficulty level. How difficult is real exam compared to the practice exam?</P> Sat, 04 Feb 2017 04:52:15 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/How-different-is-HDPCD-exam-from-the-practice-exam/m-p/159557#M53317 sark_rahul 2017-02-04T04:52:15Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/How-different-is-HDPCD-exam-from-the-practice-exam/m-p/159558#M53318 <P>No worries, sorry if I misunderstood. The level is the same.Of course the questions and datasets are different but the tasks are similar in nature. If you comfortable finish all tasks in the practice, I have a high level of confidence you can pass the actual exam. try finishing under 2 hrs to best simulate the actual exam. </P><P>Hope that this helps. </P> Sat, 04 Feb 2017 04:59:25 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/How-different-is-HDPCD-exam-from-the-practice-exam/m-p/159558#M53318 wgonzalez 2017-02-04T04:59:25Z
