HDPCA exam tasks confusion

[#1]

on Hortonworks website there is a PDF which lists the exam tasks which are far more than whats listed on the amazon AWS practice exam site ?

there is a an "Exam" folder there under which there is an html listing the tasks , and they are only 6 tasks where as the PDF document on the Horton works site lists at least dozen more tasks.

which one is true?

Hello Sami,

Great question and apologies for the confusion. The answer is, both are true. Since we only have 2 hours for the exam, we aren't able to test everything that is listed in the PDF, however the PDF contains tasks which a candidate should be proficient at in order to successfully pass the exam.

So to be more specific, any task in the PDF is something that can possibly be asked during the certification, but we are not able to publicly state which those are since this is an exam. This means that the best way to be prepared for the exam, is to make sure you are familiar with each task in the PDF, even though potentially only half of them will be tested on during the exam.

I hope that clears up the confusion and good luck on your certification!
